+## Reference: import external helpers, modifiers, components
+
+You can import non `.gjs/.gts` helpers, modifiers and components from apps/addons
+you may already be using when migrating your own components. To determine 
+the import path:
+
+1. Check the app
+   1. If found, import that
+   2. If not found,
+        1. Check all addon's app folders
+            1. When found, look in the matching file to see what the re-export is -- this is what you can use in your app
+        2. Check all v2-addon's ember-addon#app-js configs in package.json
+            1. When found, look in the matching file to see what the re-export is -- this is what you can use in
+
+For example:
+
+```js
+import BasicDropdown from 'ember-basic-dropdown/components/basic-dropdown';
+
+<template>
+  <BasicDropdown>
+   <!-- Your component implementation here -->
+  </BasicDropdown>
+</template>
