Hi guys,
Has anyone tried to add list of Commerce Categories via CSV import? 
This record type is not presented in a drop-down list at the first step (Setup-&gt;Import/Export-&gt;Import CSV Records)
Furthermore, I can't find it in the list of custom record types..

m.sobko: Let me know if you find an answer to this!

One guy from NS answered me in user groups

```
Commerce Categories record is not currently available in Netsuite out of the box import/export tool, though you could create a script to read from a csv and import Commerce Categories by suitescript. The commerce category record supports server side SuiteScripts. Check NetSuite help as some scripting functions are not supported for this record.
```

Thanks!  I guess we will try to parse the csv

We found kind of a workaround.. We uploaded our class fields which was near 1:1 with the categories

You can then search the exact class and it returns all the items in the class.  We found a defect where if the number of items is &gt; 9 it kind of crashes the category, but support provided a patch which seems to fix it.

Hmm, interesting.. Thank you for the info!
