Import Tips & Compliance
• Clearly identify the word processor model for which this memory expansion is intended, as this supports classification as a part of heading 84.72
• If the PCA includes memory chips already mounted, it is still a part, but if sold as a kit with separate chips, the classification may differ
• Verify whether the expansion PCA is solely for word processors or could also be used in other office machines
