# Import Process

Importing a wallet is only possible when the user has access to both the current device the wallet is active on as well as the new device the wallet is moving to. If you no longer have access to the device where the wallet is active, then you will need to perform a [recovery](https://desk.zoho.com/portal/loopring/en/kb/articles/how-do-i-recover).

{% hint style="info" %}
There are no fees when importing a wallet; however, there are fees when performing a recovery because there is an interaction with the Layer 1 (L1) smart contract.
{% endhint %}

### 1. Generate a QR Code to Export the Wallet

Wallet Settings -> Export Wallet
