We can import additional CSS files inside another CSS declaration. The @import rule is used for this purpose as it links a stylesheet in a document. This is generally used when one stylesheet is dependent upon another. It is specified at the top of the document after @charset declaration inside <head>.
Syntax
The syntax of @import rule is as follows
@import /*url or list-of-media-queries*/
The media queries can be compound statements which may specify the behavior of the document in different media.
Example
The following examples implement the @import rule −
HTML document −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
@import url(style.css);
body {
background-color: honeydew;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is demo paragraph one. </p>
<p class="two">This is demo paragraph two.</p>
<p>This is demo paragraph three</p>
</body>
</html>CSS document: style.css
p { color: navy; font-style: italic; }
.two { color: darkgreen; font-size: 24px; }Output
This produces the following output −
Example
HTML document −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"> </head> <body> <div></div> </body> </html>
CSS document−
div {
height: 50px;

border-radius: 20%;
border: 2px solid blueviolet;
box-shadow: 22px 12px 3px 3px lightblue;
position: absolute;
left: 30%;
top: 20px;
}Output
