What is usage of import and export keyword usage in typescri

i am not familiar with angular 2 and typescript. i was reading a article on web pack from this link http://www.dotnetfunda.com/articles/show/3481/webpack-in-angular2

the article shown how to create 3 different typescript files for customer, address and phone no and there they show some coding part like

import {Address} from "./Address"
class Customer{
a: Address = new Address();
Addresses: Array
= new Array
();
}
import {Phone} from "./Phone"
export class Address{
b: Phone = new Phone();
Phones: Array = new Array();
}
export class Phone{
}

just see first Customer class has no export but next two class has export keyword. why

please tell me when to use export keyword and when to use import keyword with a easy example.

imports & exports are way to relationships between modules, we are unable to import untill we are exporting it.in your code by declering import or export other 2 class it is considered as a module but the customer class is not. get more details: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/modules.html
