Regular Data Import

Thanks for reaching out to the Community, paul_owen2.

May I know what type of data are you trying to import into QuickBooks Online?

As long as you're trying to bring in customer-related data using an integrated third-party app, it should not cause duplicate entries. You'll find them by going to the Apps menu on the left pane.

For the apps that aren't listed there, we can't guarantee that there are no duplicate entries.

Additionally, let me share the steps on how to import data into QuickBooks Online (QBO).

1. Go to the Gear icon and choose Import Data.
2. From the list, select the data you want to import.
3. Hit the Browse button.
4. Find and select the file, then follow the on-screen instructions.
5. Lastly, click Import.

If some of the data are already entered in QBO, the existing list won't be overwritten. To avoid duplicate entries, delete them before importing, or edit each one individually.

I'm including some articles to learn more about importing data.
