Last updated: April 2026 dataCorded and cordless telephone handsets — devices whose primary function is two-way voice communication over a telephone network — are classified under this heading, one of the most commercially significant in the telecommunications equipment sector. Smartphones are generally classified elsewhere (under combination communication apparatus), so this heading is most active for traditional landline phones, VoIP desk phones, and cordless DECT handsets. FCC Part 68 compliance is required for devices connecting to the public switched telephone network, and Part 15 authorization applies to the radio frequency components of cordless models. Section 301 tariffs affect Chinese-origin telephone sets, and Vietnam has emerged as a notable alternative production base.

VoIP phones designed primarily for voice communication are generally classified as telephone sets or as apparatus for transmission/reception of voice in a wired network, depending on their feature set. The classification turns on whether the device's essential character is telephony. Importers of IP-PBX handsets and unified-communications endpoints should confirm the applicable heading with a customs broker, as the line between telephone sets and data communication apparatus can be fact-specific.
Cordless phones operating in licensed or unlicensed radio frequency bands (such as DECT 6.0 at 1.9 GHz or 2.4/5.8 GHz ISM bands) must obtain FCC equipment authorization — typically Certification — before being marketed or imported into the US. The authorization must be obtained by the responsible party (usually the manufacturer or importer) and the FCC ID must be displayed on the device.
