I removed the proof (reproduced below) because it seems to prove the same thing as it assumes at the start.

Import–export (logic) and Exportation (logic) both discuss importation and exportation, and belong to Category:Theorems in propositional logic as well as Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy.

Import–export (logic) focuses on discussion of the topic, including how the rule does not necessarily hold in a non-classical logic. Exportation (logic) is focused on the rule's technical definition and proof.
