Handheld mobile barcode scanners with ancillary telephony/Wi-Fi functions were assessed for classification under CTH 84716050 versus CTH 85171300.

Product design (larger size with handle) and contemporaneous documents (brochures, invoices, packing lists) described them as handheld scanners, and the department produced no evidence that mobile calling was the primary function. Classification as mobile phones was set aside and classification under CTH 84716050 was accepted; appeals were allowed. - CESTAT
