While this may seem tedious, it still gives Terraform users an avenue for
importing existing resources.
You can follow the [Terraform Import guide](https://learn.hashicorp.com/terraform/state/import?utm_source=WEBSITE&utm_medium=WEB_IO&utm_offer=ARTICLE_PAGE&utm_content=DOCS) on HashiCorp learn for a hands-on
introduction to using the `terraform import` command.
## Remote Backends
When using Terraform import on the command line with a [remote
backend](/docs/backends/types/remote.html), such as Terraform Cloud, the import
command runs locally, unlike commands such as apply, which run inside your
Terraform Cloud environment. Because of this, the import command will not have
access to information from the remote backend, such as workspace variables.
In order to use Terraform import with a remote state backend, you may need to
set local variables equivalent to the remote workspace variables.
## Hands-On Tutorial
You can follow the [Terraform Import
tutorial](https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/terraform/state-import?utm_source=WEBSITE&utm_medium=WEB_IO&utm_offer=ARTICLE_PAGE&utm_content=DOCS)

command.
