Import Tips
• Verify the publication is bound and contains primarily dictionary entries to avoid reclassification as advertising material under 4911
• Include ISBN and publisher details in documentation; no formal entry needed if duty-free, but report values over $10,000
• Check for any multimedia inserts, as those may require separate classification under Chapter 85
