  6. Import product certificates.
    The

     Locker cannot import product certificates, so you must import the product certificate after you import the product.
    When you import a product into a new environment, the
    Product Details
     view does not display a certificate entry. However, when you import a product into an existing environment that contains other products, the
    Product Details
     view does display the environment-level certificate. The relevant certificate is consumed and visible in the Locker Certificates view, but the certificate is not actually assigned. Regardless of where you are importing ta product into a new or existing environment. you must import the product certificate after you import the product.
  7. Perform an inventory synchronization of the imported product.
    After inventory synchronization, the
    Product Details
     view correctly reflects the certificate references.
