Bring in wimpy forts without walls (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

import

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bring in' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'wimpy forts without walls' is the wordplay.
'wimpy' becomes 'imp' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'without walls' indicates the central letters (the letters on the edges are removed).
The centre of 'forts' is 'ort'.
'imp'+'ort'='IMPORT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for import that I've seen before include "Implied meaning, bring from abroad" , "Convey" , "introduce" , "introduction" , "Meaning - something from abroad" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
