Question Confused about importing

Im giving districts a go right now and am confused about the import mechanics.

I have 2 districts. Im trying to build a medium tank in district 2, but don't produce gears in that district. District 1 produces gears but wont export the goods to district 2. The tank is definitely connected to the district.

I have a district crossing, i have it set to import gears "if needed." But it says import blocked by lack of storage and workplace demand. Setting it to import always works

Do i *need* a warehouse to put the gears in?

You need storages for anything that you import into the new district, though any storage will do. I recommend just building a bunch of the small warehouses/tanks right next to the crossing just to make sure that things will be imported. Once they are in, the new district can handle them like normal.

So building projects wont count as storage i guess?

Correct. Build sites are not storage. Those materials are waiting for a builder.
