import store
Overseas merchandise retailer
An import store is a retail shop specializing in goods brought from other countries—typically crafts, home décor, clothing, or specialty foods.
The term suggests curated foreign merchandise rather than mass-market imports: She found the rug at an import store downtown.
These shops often emphasize particular regions like Asia, Africa, or Latin America.
