• 8544422000 - Insulated (including enameled or anodized) wire, cable (including coaxial cable) and other insulated electric conductors, whether or not fitted with connectors; optical fiber cables, made up of individually sheathed fibers, whether or not assembled with electric conductors or fitted with connectors: Other electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V: Fitted with connectors: Other: Of a kind used for telecommunications.
  • 85: Electrical machinery and equipment; parts thereof.
  • 44: Electric conductors.
  • This code is suitable if the data line is primarily an insulated electric cable specifically designed for telecommunications. It includes cables with connectors. Important: Confirm the voltage does not exceed 1,000V.
• 8517620020 - Telephone sets, including smartphones and other telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks; other apparatus for the transmission or reception of voice, images or other data, including apparatus for communication in a wired or wireless network (such as a local or wide area network): Other apparatus for transmission or reception of voice, images or other data, including apparatus for communication in a wired or wireless network (such as a local or wide area network).
  • 85: Electrical machinery and equipment; parts thereof.
  • 17: Telephones, including smartphones; other apparatus for transmission or reception of voice, images or other data.
  • This code applies if the data line is considered an accessory or component for a telephone or data transmission apparatus.
• 8517690000 - Telephone sets, including smartphones and other telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks; other apparatus for the transmission or reception of voice, images or other data, including apparatus for communication in a wired or wireless network (such as a local or wide area network): Other apparatus for transmission or reception of voice, images or other data, including apparatus for communication in a wired or wireless network (such as a local or wide area network): Other.
  • 85: Electrical machinery and equipment; parts thereof.
  • 17: Telephones, including smartphones; other apparatus for transmission or reception of voice, images or other data.
  • This is a broader category for data transmission apparatus not specifically covered elsewhere. It's a good option if the data line doesn't fit the more precise definitions.
