# Canceling an import task
<a name="bulk-import-cancelling-import"></a>

 You can cancel a running import task by using the [ CancelImportTask](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//neptune-analytics/latest/apiref/API_CancelImportTask.html) API. 

```
aws neptune-graph cancel-import-task \ 
--task-id <task-id>
```

 The import task will will be canceled and all changes rolled back. The state of the import task will switch to `CANCELING` after `cancel-import-task` API is called and eventually the state will be `CANCELED` when rollback finishes. You can check the current state of your import task using the [GetImportTask](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//neptune-analytics/latest/userguide/bulk-import-checking-details.html) API. 

```
aws neptune-graph get-import-task \
--task-id <task-id>
```
