# Import ID doesn’t work

 * Hello,
 * I imported products from a different shop. Before I deleted all existing products(
   empty trash).
 * But when I import the csv file the products don’t have the same ID as it is given
   in the csv.
 * I cleaned up the databank with wp sweep, but still the ID numbers are counting
   on. What can I do?
    When I use the “normal” WordPress export/import the IDs are
   correct, but the variations are missing.
 * Thank you
