If you use the import process 'Admin - Categories Import', you need to upload a file containing the data of the categories you want to import in Admin > Tables > Commodities. For this you use the template that you can download in step 2 of the import process.
All columns from the import template are explained below. If the import file does not meet these requirements, the import will fail.
Note: the categories already present in Admin > Tables > Commodities will be replaced with the category structure included in the uploaded template.
