# Import and Export Price Books in B2C Commerce

Import a price book as either an editable or a read-only price book. A read-only price book takes less time to import but you can't edit it in Business Manager. The default is editable.

A read-only price book ID can appear in only one `pricebook` element in the XML file. When you import prices into a read-only price book and the same price book ID appears in multiple `pricebook` elements, only the price entries in the last matching `pricebook` element are imported. This behavior applies to the merge, replace, and update import modes.

1. Importing a read-only price book requires enabling the global preference. You can change the preference later to import an editable price book. To use read-only price books, contact your Salesforce admin to enable the High Scale Price Books feature.
