imported

'brought in' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'unwanted parisian withdraws after this writer's' is the wordplay.
'unwanted parisian' becomes 'detrop' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'withdraws' says the letters should be written backwards.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'this writer's' becomes 'im' (the person writing the crossword clues).
'detrop' in reverse letter order is 'ported'.
'ported' put after 'im' is 'IMPORTED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for imported that I've seen before include "Brought in merchandise from abroad" , "Brought in; meant" , "brought home" .)
