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
