Import Tips
• NAS drives often have firmware for RAID; document as standard HDDs to avoid data center equipment tariffs
• Include MTBF and workload ratings in invoices for valuation, but classify based on form not end-use
• Ensure no pre-attached cables or brackets that could imply partial assembly into cabinets
