importeras

Importeras is a Swedish verb form meaning “is imported” or “to be imported.” It is the present passive form of the verb importera and is used to describe goods, services, or ideas that are brought into a country or market from abroad. In passive constructions, the agent performing the action is often omitted, and when it is mentioned, it is introduced with av (e.g., varor importeras av företaget).

Grammatical notes: Swedish forms the present passive with the suffix -s, so importeras corresponds to “is imported.” Other related forms include importerades (past passive), kommer att importeras (future passive), and har importerats (present perfect passive). The past participle of importera is importerad, which can function as an adjective, as in “importerad vara” (an imported goods).

Usage: Importeras appears frequently in trade, regulation, and statistics. Examples include “Varor importeras till Sverige varje dag” (Goods are imported into Sweden every day) or “Produkterna importeras från Kina.” The construction is common in official language, customs notices, and business reporting. When specifying the agent, it is natural to say “importeras av …” to indicate who brings the goods in.

Related forms: The noun form for the act of bringing in goods is importering or, less commonly, import. The adjective form is importerad, as in “en importerad vara.” The distinction between active and passive voice helps clarify whether the subject performs or receives the action.

Origin: The verb is a cognate of the English word import and derives from Latin importare via French and other European languages. It forms part of standard Swedish economic and administrative vocabulary.
