Import models in barge (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bearing

'import' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'models in barge' is the wordplay.
'models' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'barge'='inbarge'
'inbarge' with letters rearranged gives 'BEARING'.

(Other definitions for bearing that I've seen before include "north?" , "circular form?" , "Posture" , "Position" , "Carriage; relevance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
