Bring in from abroad a French badger (9)
I believe the answer is:
importune
'badger' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bring in from abroad a french' is the wordplay.
'bring in from abroad' becomes 'import' (I've seen this in another clue).
'a french' becomes 'une' ('a' in French).
'import'+'une'='IMPORTUNE'
(Other definitions for importune that I've seen before include "badger" , "Harass" , "press to give answers" , "make improper advances to" , "Make insistent requests for entropium" .)
