If a member's **Import & export** page says import is not enabled and their app is up to date, contact your Anthropic representative. The import needs Claude Desktop to download a component, so on a network that blocks `downloads.claude.ai`, deploy the offline installer described under [Installer and packaging](https://claude.com/docs/government/deploy-desktop/windows-checklist.md#installer-and-packaging) in the Windows fleet checklist. To remind members to run the import, turn on the [**Show the Claude for Government Web import banner**](https://claude.com/docs/government/config/settings.md#show-the-claude-for-government-web-import-banner) switch on the **Config** page.
