Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'bare drive units without enclosure' to avoid confusion with pre-assembled external drives
• Provide detailed technical specs sheet including MTBF and cache size for customs valuation and classification verification
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Asian-origin HDDs; check Commerce Dept listings before import
