+> - If the target table already exists in the target database, to use this command for table import, make sure that the target table name is the same as the source table name and add the `skip-create-table` flag in the command.
+> - If the target table does not exist in the target database, executing this command automatically creates a table with the same name as the source table in the target database.

+## Examples
+
+- Start an import task in interactive mode:
+
+ ```shell
+ ticloud import start mysql
+ ```
+
+- Start an import task in non-interactive mode (using the TiDB Serverless cluster default user `.root`):
+
+ ```shell
+ ticloud import start mysql --project-id --cluster-id --source-host --source-port --source-user --source-password --source-database --source-table --target-database --target-password
+ ```
+
+- Start an import task in non-interactive mode (using a specific user):
+
+ ```shell
+ ticloud import start mysql --project-id --cluster-id --source-host --source-port --source-user --source-password --source-database --source-table --target-database --target-password --target-user
+ ```
+
+- Start an import task that skips creating the target table if it already exists in the target database:
+
+ ```shell
+ ticloud import start mysql --project-id --cluster-id --source-host --source-port --source-user --source-password --source-database --source-table --target-database --target-password --skip-create-table
+ ```
+
+> **Note:**
+>
+> MySQL 8.0 uses `utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci` as the default collation, which is currently not supported by TiDB. If your source table uses the `utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci` collation, before the import, you need to either alter the source table collation to a [supported collation of TiDB](/character-set-and-collation.md#character-sets-and-collations-supported-by-tidb) or manually create the target table in TiDB.
