 * I am creating a directory that uses a custom plugin / fields for category and
   locations.
 * I want to import these in bulk (states and cities).
 * This involves a “Name”, “Slug”, “Parent”, “Description” for custom fields in 
   a custom module.
 * I’m not entering in listings yet, I just want to upload via CSV these states 
   and listings.
 * Can I do that, where I’m not just entering a post/page, but the categories/custom
   fields?

 * I think, you can use custom post type.
