Import Tips
• Helium drives require pressure vessel declarations; non-compliance risks hazmat classification
• Enterprise drives may qualify for ITAG exemptions—verify eligibility with detailed specs
• Batch import valuations should account for refurb vs new status to avoid under-valuation penalties
