Import Tips
• 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
