**To import a component**

The following ``import-component`` example imports a preexisting script using a JSON file. ::

    aws imagebuilder import-component \
        --cli-input-json file://import-component.json

Contents of ``import-component.json``::

    {
        "name": "MyImportedComponent",
        "semanticVersion": "1.0.0",
        "description": "An example of how to import a component",
        "changeDescription": "First commit message.",
        "format": "SHELL",
        "platform": "Windows",
        "type": "BUILD",
        "uri": "s3://s3-bucket-name/s3-bucket-path/component.yaml"
    }

Output::
