8471.70.50 - Other

HTS code 8471.70.50 covers "Other" magnetic disk drive units that do not fit into the more specific sibling category. This classification is used for magnetic disk drive units that are not explicitly defined as not assembled in cabinets and without an attached external power supply. Therefore, this category is a catch-all for magnetic disk drive units that are either assembled in cabinets, have an attached external power supply, or both, provided they are not otherwise specified.

The primary distinction between 8471.70.50 and its sibling, 8471.70.40, lies in the assembly and power supply configuration. While 8471.70.40 specifically excludes units that are not assembled in cabinets and lack an attached external power supply, 8471.70.50 encompasses units that *do* have these characteristics, such as self-contained units integrated into computer systems or those with integrated power adapters.

Within this "Other" category, further subclassification is provided to distinguish between different types of magnetic disk drives. These subcategories include flexible (floppy) magnetic disk drive units (8471.70.50.35) and hard magnetic disk drive units (8471.70.50.65), capturing the most common forms of magnetic storage. A residual category, "Other" (8471.70.50.95), is available for any magnetic disk drive units that do not fall under the flexible or hard disk classifications.
