Import Tips

• Verify drive capacity and form factor (e.g

• 3.5-inch) to confirm HTS 8471.70.50 applicability; drives over 21cm may shift to 8471.70.40

• Include detailed technical specs like interface (SATA/SAS) and RPM in commercial invoice to avoid misclassification as ADP machine parts

• Ensure RoHS compliance documentation, as electronic storage imports often face environmental scrutiny at customs
