der Import
der Import 30 सेकंड में
- Der Import refers to bringing goods or services into a country from abroad, essential for international trade and domestic consumption.
- It is a masculine noun (der Import, plural: die Importe) and is stressed on the second syllable: Im-PORT.
- Commonly confused with 'die Einfuhr', which is more formal/bureaucratic, while 'Import' is used in general business contexts.
- The antonym is 'der Export'. Germany relies heavily on imports for raw materials, energy, and high-tech components.
The German noun der Import refers to the act of bringing goods, services, or even ideas into a country from abroad, or the goods themselves that have been brought in. It is a masculine noun, which is a crucial grammatical detail for English speakers to memorize, as the English 'import' is gender-neutral. In a globalized world, der Import is a word you will encounter daily, whether you are reading the financial section of a newspaper like the Handelsblatt or simply checking the label on a piece of fruit at the supermarket. It sits at the heart of international trade discussions and economic policy.
- Economic Context
- In economics, der Import describes the purchase of foreign products by domestic residents. Germany, being a major industrial hub, relies heavily on the import of raw materials and energy. You might hear phrases like 'Der Import von Erdgas ist gesunken' (The import of natural gas has decreased).
- The Physical Goods
- Sometimes, the word refers to the items themselves. A shop might advertise 'exklusive Importe aus Italien' (exclusive imports from Italy), referring to the shoes, wines, or cheeses they have brought in.
- Abstract Usage
- While less common than in English, der Import can occasionally refer to the adoption of foreign concepts or cultural trends, though words like 'Übernahme' are often preferred for ideas.
Deutschland ist bekannt für seinen starken Export, aber auch der Import von Technologie spielt eine große Rolle.
Understanding the nuances of der Import involves distinguishing it from its synonym die Einfuhr. While they are often interchangeable, der Import sounds more international and commercial, whereas die Einfuhr is the more traditional German term often used in official customs contexts (Zoll). For example, a customs officer is more likely to ask about 'Einfuhrbestimmungen' (import regulations) than 'Importbestimmungen', though both are correct. Furthermore, the plural die Importe is frequently used when discussing statistics or diverse types of goods. If a country imports cars, oil, and grain, one would speak of 'die verschiedenen Importe des Landes'.
Der Import von Luxusgütern hat im letzten Jahr stark zugenommen.
Wegen der Krise wurde der Import bestimmter Lebensmittel eingeschränkt.
Using der Import correctly requires attention to its grammatical case and its position in the sentence. Since it is a noun, it often acts as the subject or the direct object. In professional German, you will frequently find it combined with prepositions like von (of) or aus (from). For instance, 'Der Import von Kaffee aus Brasilien' (The import of coffee from Brazil) clearly defines the source and the product. Note that in German, we often use the singular to refer to the general concept, but the plural 'die Importe' when referring to specific shipments or a variety of items.
- Subject Position
- When the word is the subject, it dictates the verb conjugation. 'Der Import wächst' (The import is growing). Even if you are importing thousands of items, the word 'Import' remains singular if you are referring to the process.
- Accusative (Direct Object)
- 'Die Firma kontrolliert den Import' (The company controls the import). Notice the change from 'der' to 'den' in the accusative case.
- Genitive (Possession)
- 'Die Qualität des Imports ist hervorragend' (The quality of the import is excellent). The '-s' ending on 'Imports' is mandatory.

In more complex sentences at the B1 level and above, you'll see der Import used in passive constructions or as part of compound nouns. German loves compound nouns, and 'Import' is a very productive root. Think of Importbeschränkung (import restriction), Importzoll (import duty), or Importgeschäft (import business). When you use these compounds, the gender of the whole word is determined by the last component. Since 'Beschränkung' is feminine, 'die Importbeschränkung' is feminine. Since 'Zoll' is masculine, 'der Importzoll' is masculine. This is a vital rule for any learner aiming for fluency.
Der Import von Rohöl ist für die deutsche Wirtschaft lebensnotwendig.
Wir müssen den Import neuer Softwarelösungen prüfen.
The word der Import is ubiquitous in German news media. Every time the Federal Statistical Office (Statistisches Bundesamt) releases trade figures, you will hear news anchors on Tagesschau or ZDF Heute talking about 'deutsche Importe und Exporte'. They might say, 'Die Importe stiegen im Vergleich zum Vormonat um zwei Prozent.' (Imports rose by two percent compared to the previous month). In these contexts, the word is used professionally and precisely to describe the movement of capital and goods across borders.
- At the Office
- If you work for a logistics or trading company in Germany, you will hear this word constantly. Colleagues might discuss 'Importabwicklung' (import processing) or 'Importgenehmigungen' (import permits). It's the bread and butter of international logistics.
- In the Supermarket
- While not always written on the price tag, signs might say 'Import aus Übersee' (import from overseas) for exotic fruits like mangoes or avocados. It signals that the product has traveled a long distance.
- Politics and Debate
- Politicians often debate the 'Import von Fachkräften' (import of skilled workers). While slightly controversial because it treats people like goods, the term is frequently used in discussions about labor shortages.
In den Nachrichten hieß es, dass der Import von Gas teurer geworden ist.
Beyond formal settings, you might hear der Import in casual conversations about cars. For example, 'Ist das ein US-Import?' (Is that a US import?) refers to a car originally manufactured for the American market and then brought to Germany. This is a very common way to distinguish between cars that meet European specifications and those that don't. Similarly, in the world of video games or movies, 'Import-Versionen' are versions of media brought from Japan or the USA that might not be officially released in Germany yet.
Dieser Wein ist ein direkter Import vom Weingut in Frankreich.
One of the most frequent errors English speakers make with der Import is getting the gender wrong. Since 'import' is neuter in English, many instinctively say 'das Import'. However, as mentioned, it is masculine. Another common mistake involves the pronunciation. In English, we stress the first syllable for the noun (IM-port) and the second for the verb (im-PORT). In German, both the noun der Import and the verb importieren are stressed on the 'port' syllable. Incorrect stress can make the word hard for native speakers to recognize immediately.
- Confusion with 'Einfuhr'
- Learners often wonder when to use 'Import' and when to use 'Einfuhr'. While they are synonyms, 'Import' is used for modern business, while 'Einfuhr' is more technical and bureaucratic. Don't use 'Import' if you are filling out official customs forms that specifically ask for 'Einfuhrerklärungen'.
- The Verb vs. Noun Trap
- In English, 'import' can be a verb. In German, you cannot say 'Ich import'. You must use the verb importieren: 'Ich importiere'. Confusing the noun for the verb is a classic A2/B1 level mistake.
Falsch: Das Import ist teuer. (Richtig: Der Import ist teuer.)
Additionally, watch out for the plural formation. While the English plural is 'imports', the German plural is die Importe. Forgetting that final 'e' in the plural is a common slip-up. Furthermore, learners sometimes struggle with the preposition. While 'Import von' is common, if you are talking about where it comes from, use 'aus'. Avoid using 'von' when 'aus' (indicating origin) is more appropriate. For example, 'Import aus China' is better than 'Import von China' if you mean the country of origin.
Falsch: Wir machen Import von Wein. (Richtig: Wir importieren Wein / Wir betreiben den Weinimport.)
To enrich your German, it's helpful to know words that are related to der Import. The most direct synonym is die Einfuhr. While 'Import' sounds more like 'Big Business', 'Einfuhr' is the standard term in German law and administration. If you are reading a law book, you will see 'Einfuhrumsatzsteuer' (import VAT), not 'Importumsatzsteuer'. Understanding this distinction helps you choose the right word for the right register.
- der Import vs. die Einfuhr
- Import: International, commercial, modern. Example: 'Der Import von Smartphones.'
Einfuhr: Official, bureaucratic, traditional. Example: 'Die Einfuhr von Waffen ist verboten.' - der Bezug
- This word means 'obtaining' or 'sourcing'. It is often used in business to describe where a company gets its materials. 'Der Bezug von Rohstoffen aus dem Ausland' is a more sophisticated way of saying 'the import of raw materials'.
- die Zufuhr
- This means 'supply' or 'input', often used in technical or biological contexts. For example, 'die Energiezufuhr' (energy supply) or 'die Vitaminzufuhr'. It's not a direct synonym for trade import, but it describes the act of bringing something in.
Anstatt Import kann man in offiziellen Dokumenten oft 'Einfuhr' lesen.
Another interesting alternative is die Hereinnahme, though this is very specific to banking or certain logistics processes (bringing something into a portfolio or warehouse). If you want to describe the result of an import, you might use die Importware (imported goods). Knowing these variations allows you to avoid repetition in your writing. For instance, you could start a paragraph with 'Der Import von Getreide...' and later refer to it as 'Diese Einfuhren sind notwendig für die Versorgung'. This shows a high level of linguistic flexibility.
Die Firma plant den Bezug neuer Bauteile aus Asien.
How Formal Is It?
रोचक तथ्य
While 'Import' is common now, for a long time 'Einfuhr' was the only word used. 'Import' became popular as German businessmen wanted to sound more 'international' in the 19th century.

शब्द की उत्पत्ति
Derived from the Latin verb 'importare', which means 'to carry in' or 'to bring in' (from 'in-' + 'portare' - to carry). It entered the German language through French 'import' or directly from English/Latin in the 18th century as international trade grew.
