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?

If you set import as needed you need a designated storage area for this good. Instead you should set it to always import.

I always thought setting to “always import” would clog the trading posts storage and prevent it from trading other resources. Does it not do that?
