Import Tips & Compliance

Provide interface diagrams (e.g

floppy ribbon cable) to confirm ADP compatibility and avoid reclassification as consumer electronics

Ensure no integrated housing; ship bare drives to maintain 'not in cabinets' status under this subheading

Comply with RoHS directives for legacy electronics; declare material composition to prevent hazardous waste scrutiny
