Both fall within electronic integrated circuit memories, but they differ in volatility and architecture: DRAM loses data without power and is used for active processing, while NAND and NOR flash are non-volatile and used for storage. At the HTS 10-digit level these distinctions can map to separate tariff lines, so the memory type and capacity should be confirmed on the commercial invoice to ensure correct classification.

Yes — certain DRAM and other memory products have been subject to antidumping duty orders in the past. Importers should check the current scope of any active orders with the Department of Commerce and confirm whether their specific product and country of origin fall within scope before filing entry.
