The Import API is built for high-volume resource import workflows. Enterprise catalog teams should design import containers, idempotent keys, validation stages, and reconciliation reports instead of pushing every feed row through synchronous admin tooling.

Catalog ingestion pipeline:

PIM export
  -> normalize and validate feed
  -> map source IDs to Commercetools keys
  -> import Product Types, Categories, Products, Prices, Inventory
  -> poll import operations
  -> publish validated products
  -> emit reconciliation report
