Import Tips

Verify the drive's form factor (e.g

2.5-inch) and interface compatibility to confirm it's for physical incorporation into ADP systems, not external use

Include detailed technical specs and ADP integration certifications in documentation to avoid reclassification as consumer peripherals

Ensure RoHS compliance and provide FCC markings to prevent delays at customs for electronic components
