Import Tips

Verify the drive is unmounted and without cabinet or external PSU to qualify under 8471.70.40.35; pre-assembled units shift to other subheadings

Include technical specs confirming flexible magnetic media compatibility and 34-pin interface in documentation for CBP review

Label as 'legacy ADP storage unit' and retain FCC compliance docs to avoid pitfalls with electronic import regulations
