Import Tips

Verify the publication qualifies as an encyclopedia with substantial textual content, not primarily advertising, to avoid reclassification to 4911

Provide detailed invoices specifying title, volume count, and ISBN to confirm it's not a periodical set under 4901.90

Ensure proper documentation of country of printing origin, as duty-free status may apply under GSP for certain origins
