Permission denied running Terraform import

I have successfully used Terraform import on one AWS account where my credentials were admin. I'm now trying to run the command on a different account, where I have more limited permissions.

Does anyone know specially what AWS policy is needed to run Terraform import?

Set the TF_LOG environment variable to DEBUG before your run Terraform.

This will out the exact call that is returning 403.
