+The import command allows the import of blocks from an RLP-encoded format. This format can be a single file
+containing multiple RLP-encoded blocks, or multiple files can be utilized.
 
-If only one file is used, import error will result in failure. If several files are used,
-processing will proceed even if an individual RLP-file import failure occurs.`,
+If only one file is used, an import error will result in the entire import process failing. Conversely, if
+multiple files are employed, the import process will continue even if an individual RLP file fails to import
+successfully.

+The import command will batch-import 2500 blocks into the database at a time. The import process can be
+interrupted using Ctrl-C, and it will halt at the end of the current batch.`,
