Overview
This HTS classification, 8471.70.40.95, encompasses magnetic disk drive units that are not the flexible (floppy) type (8471.70.40.35) or hard magnetic disk drive units (8471.70.40.65). Specifically, this category is for magnetic disk drive units that are supplied *without* being assembled into a cabinet and *without* an attached external power supply. The classification hinges on the physical state and presentation of the drive unit at the time of importation.
The distinguishing factor for this category is the absence of a protective or integrated housing (cabinet) and the lack of a dedicated external power supply unit being presented alongside or attached. This differentiates it from integrated storage solutions where these components are already combined. The focus is on the core magnetic disk drive mechanism itself, presented in a less assembled state.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification is definitively determined by the presence or absence of a cabinet and attached external power supply, in conjunction with the unit being a magnetic disk drive. Importers should ensure that the unit being classified meets these specific physical and compositional criteria to accurately fall under this "Other" designation for magnetic disk drive units.
