# import\_labels

`imerit_ango.sdk.SDK.`

## import\_labels(project\_id, labels)

Import pre-labels into your project.

{% hint style="danger" %}
You can only import annotations for tasks in the *Start* stage.

Please ensure the assets you are trying to annotate as in the *Start* stage of your project before continuing.
{% endhint %}

### Parameters

* **project\_id:** string
  * The unique identifier for the project. You can find the project ID in [the user interface](https://docs.imerit.net/sdk/sdk-documentation/..#project-ids) or retrieve it using the [`list_projects`](https://docs.imerit.net/sdk/sdk-documentation/project-level-sdk-functions/list_projects) function.
* **labels:** List\[dict]
  * List of labels to import. See more on our label format here: [Ango Annotation Format](https://docs.imerit.net/data/importing-and-exporting-annotations/importing-annotations/ango-import-format) and learn more about importing labels into Ango Hub [here](https://docs.imerit.net/data/importing-and-exporting-annotations/importing-annotations).
