# How to import objects

## You can import files to create and update HubSpot records in bulk. This article explains how to import a single type of record, also known as an object. When importing a single object, you can create or update the following:

- **Standard CRM objects:** contacts, companies, deals, tickets, and defined [custom objects](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/use-custom-objects).
- **HubSpot-defined objects:** products.

You can also [import and associate records across multiple objects](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/import-and-associate-multiple-objects) in HubSpot[.](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/import-and-associate-multiple-objects) If you have data in another system and want to set up a two-way sync, learn how to [connect and use HubSpot data sync ](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/integrations/connect-hubspot-and-piesync#:~:text=Connect%20an%20app%20from%20the,that%20PieSync%20connects%20to%20HubSpot.)rather than importing.
