DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.import Domain Names

Not delegated

The.import string appears in public new gTLD disclosure material as an applied-for proposal associated with Journey To The West Corporation. It is not listed in the IANA Root Zone Database as a delegated TLD, so it should be treated as a proposed extension rather than a live one. ICANN’s 2026 Round materials describe the application process as running from preparation through possible delegation, and IANA’s root zone records remain the authoritative source for delegated top-level domains.
