The `influxdb3 import` command manages bulk imports of Parquet data into
InfluxDB 3 Enterprise databases and tables.

> [!Important]
> Bulk import requires the [storage engine upgrade](/influxdb3/enterprise/reference/config-options/)(`--use-pacha-tree`).
> The target database and table must exist before importing.
