Import Tips
• Provide manufacturer's declaration confirming it's a complete functional HDD unit, not parts, to prevent reclassification
• Check for helium-filled drives, which may require additional safety data sheets for import due to pressurized gas content
• Ensure packaging prevents damage to platters; customs may inspect for functionality if suspected as defective returns
