I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get things from abroad' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'i'm left' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'port' (left side of a ship - opposite of starboard).
'im'+'port'='IMPORT'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for import that I've seen before include "Meaning - something from abroad" , "Meaning - bring goods into the country" , "introduce" , "Bring in; significance" , "Bring in from abroad to sell" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
