# <autn:categories> (required)

The `<autn:categories>` tag marks the beginning of the XML categories that the Category component reads. When you use the CategoryImportFromXML action, Category reads the XML between the opening and closing `<autn:categories>` tags.

All categories (`<autn:category>`) are children of (`<autn:categories>`) when you export a category from the Category component to XML. You can then import the XML to the Category component. They should have the same format.

You must include an XML namespace in the tag. For example:

    <autn:categories xmlns:autn="http://schemas.autonomy.com/aci">

Tag name | Number allowed | Required
--- | --- | ---
<autn:category> | one or more | No
