Crossword Genius

Sign name fraudulently for imports (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meanings

'imports' is the definition.
('meaning' can be a synonym of 'import')

'sign name fraudulently' is the wordplay.
'fraudulently' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'sign'+'name'='signname'
'signname' is an anagram of 'MEANINGS'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for meanings that I've seen before include "The ideas that are intended" , "Senses intended" , "Imports, messages, senses" , "Explanations" , "Gists or intents" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
