+
+  ## CSV Import
+
+  The CSV import feature allows administrators to upload CSV files and import members.
+
+  ### File Upload
+
+  Files are uploaded automatically when selected (`auto_upload: true`). No manual
+  upload trigger is required.
+
+  ### Rate Limiting
+
+  Currently, there is no rate limiting for CSV imports. Administrators can start
+  multiple imports in quick succession. This is intentional for bulk data migration
+  scenarios, but should be monitored in production.
+
+  ### Limits
+
+  - Maximum file size: 10 MB
+  - Maximum rows: 1,000 rows (excluding header)
+  - Processing: chunks of 200 rows
+  - Errors: capped at 50 per import
 
   ## Note
   Settings is a singleton resource - there is only one settings record.
