Import Tips

• 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
