Import Tips
• Verify drive capacity and interface specs in documentation to confirm classification under 'other' magnetic disk drives, avoiding reclassification to larger drive subheadings
• Include FCC certification and RoHS compliance declarations, as these are common pitfalls for electronics imports leading to CBP holds
• Ensure invoice details exact model and 'not assembled in cabinets' status to prevent duty misapplication
