Import Tips
• Include technical specifications confirming ADP interactivity to distinguish from non-interactive data discs
• For multi-disc sets, declare as single SKU under 8523.49.40.00; avoid splitting to prevent duty optimization abuse
• Ensure no hardware dongles included; keys classify separately under 8473.30
