Essential character test classifies mobile pen/pen drive as storage unit, treating bundled software as ADP-installed per international precedent. Applying the essential character criterion and relevant Harmonized System precedent, the driver software is installed in the ADP machine and not in the device, so the storage+drive functions of the combined pen/USB flash device impart its essential character; accordingly the complete set is classifiable as a storage unit rather than as a pen or independent storage media.
