**To get the items required to import key material into a CMK**
The following ``get-parameters-for-import`` example gets the public key and import token that you need to import key material into a CMK. When you use the ``import-key-material`` command, be sure to use the import token and key material encrypted by the public key that were returned in the same ``get-parameters-for-import`` command. Also, the wrapping algorithm that you specify in this command must be one that you use to encrypt the key material with the public key.
To specify the CMK, use the ``key-id`` parameter. This example uses an key ID, but you can use a key ID or key ARN in this command. ::
aws kms get-parameters-for-import \
--key-id 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab \
--wrapping-algorithm RSAES_OAEP_SHA_256 \
--wrapping-key-spec RSA_2048
Output::
