# Import Aliasing

Import aliasing must be used if the package name does not match the last
element of the import path.

```go
import (
  "net/http"

  client "example.com/client-go"
  trace "example.com/trace/v2"
)
```

In all other scenarios, import aliases should be avoided unless there is a
direct conflict between imports.
