Import‐Export says that a conditional of the form is always equivalent to the corresponding conditional . I argue that Import‐Export does not sit well with a classical approach to conjunction: given some plausible and widely accepted principles about conditionals, Import‐Export together with classical conjunction leads to absurd consequences. My main goal is to draw out these surprising connections. In concluding, I argue that the best response to these facts is to reject Import‐Export and adopt instead a limited version of that principle which better fits natural language data, still accounts for the intuitions that motivate Import‐Export , and sits more easily with a classical conjunction
