Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective+noun composition: 'imported' (brought from another country) modifies 'input' (resource used in production), so the combined meaning is directly derivable from the constituents. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and would be predictable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Imported input paints a clear picture: input, meaning parts or materials, is imported, or brought from another country, into a factory to keep production moving. So it means 'materials or parts brought from abroad to be used in making goods'.
