# Import address (header and line levels)

Learn about the import address field for header and line levels in Avalara integrations.

**Element type:** Required for Input VAT, conditional for Core

**Endpoints/models used:** [AddressesModel](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/models/AddressesModel/)

Your integration may be required to allow users to specify an import address when goods are imported into a country that’s different than the `ShipTo`.

For core-only integrations, this is required if your platform accepts this address. This is also required for integrations that support input VAT.

An import address is added to your application using the `import` field in the [AddressesModel](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/models/AddressesModel/) at the header or line level.

**Example**

```
{
  "addresses": {
    "import:{
      "line1":"",
      "city":"",
      "region":"",
      "country":"AT",
      "postalCode":""
    },
    ...
  },
  ...
}
