Import Tips
• Verify disk diameter exceeds 21 cm with manufacturer specs to confirm 8471.70.30.00 classification; smaller drives fall under 8471.70.40
• Include detailed technical datasheets in documentation proving it's a standalone storage unit, not assembled into a complete ADP machine
• Ensure RoHS compliance and provide FCC certification to avoid customs delays on electronic components
