# Remove Import

> Detach an imported security book from your venue

Deactivates an import link. The book stops appearing in [List Order Books](/endpoints/external-securities-trading/list-order-books) and stops resolving on the reads scoped to books you can reach.

Nothing is deleted. The link row is kept with `active: false`, so trade history stays intact and re-importing the same book reactivates this record.

<Warning>
  Removing an import does not cancel orders your traders already have resting on that book, and does not release their reservations. Cancel them first with [Cancel Order](/endpoints/external-securities-trading/cancel-order), or with [Cancel Orders On Chain](/endpoints/external-securities-trading/cancel-on-chain) if you want the signatures invalidated on chain as well.
</Warning>

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="importId" type="string" required>
  Import ID, from [Import Order Book](/endpoints/external-securities-trading/import-order-book) or the `_importId` field on an imported book. This is the import record's ID, not the order book's.
</ParamField>
