Finished importing uranium provided (6)
I believe the answer is:
endued
'provided' is the definition.
'finished importing uranium' is the wordplay.
'finished' becomes 'ended' ('ended' can be similar in meaning to 'finished').
'importing' indicates putting letters inside.
'uranium' becomes 'u' ('U' can be a synonym of 'uranium').
'ended' going around 'u' is 'ENDUED'.
(Another definition for endued that I've seen is " put on".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
