+## Avoid Barrel File Imports
+
+Import directly from source files instead of barrel files to avoid loading thousands of unused modules. **Barrel files** are entry points that re-export multiple modules (e.g., `index.js` that does `export * from './module'`).
+
+Popular icon and component libraries can have **up to 10,000 re-exports** in their entry file. For many React packages, **it takes 200-800ms just to import them**, affecting both development speed and production cold starts.
+
+**Why tree-shaking doesn't help:** When a library is marked as external (not bundled), the bundler can't optimize it. If you bundle it to enable tree-shaking, builds become substantially slower analyzing the entire module graph.
+
+**Incorrect (imports entire library):**
+
+```tsx
+import { Check, X, Menu } from 'lucide-react'
+// Loads 1,583 modules, takes ~2.8s extra in dev
+// Runtime cost: 200-800ms on every cold start
+
+import { Button, TextField } from '@mui/material'
+// Loads 2,225 modules, takes ~4.2s extra in dev
+```
+
+**Correct (imports only what you need):**
+
+```tsx
+import Check from 'lucide-react/dist/esm/icons/check'
+import X from 'lucide-react/dist/esm/icons/x'
+import Menu from 'lucide-react/dist/esm/icons/menu'
+// Loads only 3 modules (~2KB vs ~1MB)
+
+import Button from '@mui/material/Button'
+import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField'
+// Loads only what you use
+```
+
+**Alternative (Next.js 13.5+):**
+
+```js
+// next.config.js - use optimizePackageImports
+module.exports = {
+  experimental: {
+    optimizePackageImports: ['lucide-react', '@mui/material']
+  }
+}
+
+// Then you can keep the ergonomic barrel imports:
+import { Check, X, Menu } from 'lucide-react'
+// Automatically transformed to direct imports at build time
+```
+
+Direct imports provide 15-70% faster dev boot, 28% faster builds, 40% faster cold starts, and significantly faster HMR.
+
+Libraries commonly affected: `lucide-react`, `@mui/material`, `@mui/icons-material`, `@tabler/icons-react`, `react-icons`, `@headlessui/react`, `@radix-ui/react-*`, `lodash`, `ramda`, `date-fns`, `rxjs`, `react-use`.
