# Imports Programs can import declarations (types, functions, variables, etc.) from other programs. Imports are declared using the `import` keyword. It can either be followed by a location, which imports all declarations; or it can be followed by the names of the declarations that should be imported, followed by the `from` keyword, and then followed by the location. If importing a local file, the location is a string literal, and the path to the file. > 🚧 Status: Imports from local files are not currently implemented. If importing an external type in a different account, the location is an address literal, and the address of the account where the declarations are deployed to and published. ``` // Import the type `Counter` from a local file. // import Counter from "examples/counter.cdc" // Import the type `Counter` from an external account. // import Counter from 0x299F20A29311B9248F12 ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
