Import Tips
• Verify the publication qualifies as a 'directory' per Chapter 49 notes, not primarily advertising content which shifts to 4911
• Include publisher's declaration confirming it's wholly or partly printed in the country of export
• Check for binding type; non-paper binding may still classify here per chapter notes but requires detailed description
