# Resource Importability

Each resource in Terraform must implement some basic logic to become
importable. As a result, not all Terraform resources are currently importable.
If you find a resource that you want to import and Terraform reports
that it isn't importable, please report an issue.

Converting a resource to be importable is also relatively simple, so if
you're interested in contributing that functionality, the Terraform team
would be grateful.

To make a resource importable, please see the
[plugin documentation on writing a resource](/docs/plugins/provider.html).
