If imported as parts of disk drives rather than complete functional units
Individual assemblies like read/write heads or platters are classified as parts of ADP machines, not complete storage units.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the drive is shipped as a bare unit without enclosure or external power supply to qualify for this subheading; enclosed units shift to other codes
• Include FCC certification and RoHS compliance documentation, as HDDs contain magnets and electronics subject to U.S. import regulations
• Label with exact capacity, interface (e.g
• SATA), and RPM to avoid misclassification during customs inspection
