Last updated: April 2026 dataCordless landline telephone sets — devices that connect to a fixed telephone line but communicate between base and handset via radio frequency — occupy a narrowing but still commercially active niche in hospitality, healthcare, and residential markets. Malaysia leads US imports under this heading, followed by Indonesia and China. Classification turns on the distinction between a line-connected cordless set (851711) and a cellular or wireless-network telephone (851713/851714); the former requires a physical connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) at the base unit. Importers should also confirm FCC Part 68 (network connection) and Part 15 (radio frequency) compliance before entry.

The defining feature of 851711 is that the base unit connects to a fixed telephone line (PSTN or VoIP adapter), with the handset communicating wirelessly to that base — typically via DECT technology. Cellular phones (851713/851714) connect directly to a wireless carrier network without a fixed-line base. A device that can operate both as a DECT cordless phone and a cellular handset requires careful classification based on its principal function and design.
Cordless telephone sets must hold FCC equipment authorization under Part 15 (for the radio frequency link between handset and base) and, if connecting to the public telephone network, must comply with Part 68 (network connection standards). Importers should verify that the FCC ID is marked on the device and that the authorization covers the specific frequency band used (commonly 1.9 GHz DECT). Shipments lacking proper FCC authorization can be detained or refused entry.
