Import Tips

Verify the product qualifies as a dictionary with alphabetical word entries to avoid reclassification as general printed matter

Include publisher's invoice detailing ISBN, edition, and content to confirm it's not primarily advertising

Avoid binding in non-paper materials, as that could shift to other headings
