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
