A real trade-industry word, but importers overwhelmingly stay on .com, so expect modest, price-driven uptake rather than a go-to address.

In Journey To The West's published portfolio of 323 strings submitted in the ICANN 2026 round. Their catalog line: “Bringing the world's goods home.”
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Same bet exactly: an open, unowned commerce-activity word sold as primary identity to the merchant/intermediary class that moves goods for a living, where value depends on that trade sector self-identifying by function rather than by brand.
Same word family and same function-as-identity bet for firms whose business IS the transaction, but the gerund pulls a financial-markets registrant pool alongside the goods-trade one, splitting the buyer from .import's narrower cross-border-goods audience.
Also a generic business-function noun bet on wholesale/distribution firms naming themselves after their role in the goods chain, though it sells a domestic supplier identity rather than the border-crossing one that gives .import its specificity.
