Check and Import as intransitive verbs

1. Luggage cannot check into the airport if it includes the products banned from being imported.

2. The product imports mainly from South Korea.

I wonder whether I can use "check" to mean "be checked" and "import" to mean "be imported" in two sentences.

I think "check" and "import" are acceptable to use as intransitive verbs in this case because no one would think the luggage checks itself or something and the product imports itself or something because they're not humanbeings.

So, can "check" and "import" be used intransitively according to my thinking?
