In trade:
* Import: Bringing goods or services into a country from another country.
In programming:
* Import: Bringing in code from another file or module into your current file.
In other contexts:
* Import is often used as the opposite of export, even when not directly related to trade or programming.
Examples:
* Trade: Exporting cars to Europe is the opposite of importing cars from Europe.
* Programming: Exporting a function from a module is the opposite of importing that function into another file.
* General: Exporting data from a database is the opposite of importing data into the database.
So, the best opposite of export depends on what is being exported and the context of the situation.
