Import structured data into Neo4j — LOAD CSV, CALL IN TRANSACTIONS, neo4j-admin database import full (offline bulk), apoc.load.csv/json, apoc.periodic.iterate, driver batch writes. Covers method selection, header file format, type coercion, null handling, ON ERROR modes, CONCURRENT TRANSACTIONS, pre-import constraint setup, and post-import validation. Use when importing CSV/JSON/Parquet files, migrating relational data to graph, or bulk-loading large datasets. Does NOT handle unstructured document/PDF/vector chunking pipelines — use neo4j-document-import-skill. Does NOT handle live app write patterns (MERGE/CREATE) — use neo4j-cypher-skill. Does NOT handle neo4j-admin backup/restore/config — use neo4j-cli-tools-skill.
