# Importing Inventory

If you use matrix products, refer to the [Importing Matrix Products](/how-to-get-started/importing-data/importing-inventory/matrix-product-import.md) page on how to properly prepare matrix product data for importation into TAKU.

1. Go to **Settings > Import > Inventory List**
2. On step 2 of the import data process you will be presented with 3 options to import inventory pertaining to how duplicate records should be handled.
3. If you do not have any import files prepared, you can download the appropriate template by clicking on Download Inventory Template

If you will be importing matrix items, please refer to the [Inventory Options Settings](/how-to-get-started/general-settings/editing-business-details/inventory-options-settings.md) page first to set up the options that will appear in the import file.
