[hhlp](/t/-/108853/1) asks about the required CSV format for importing tags via the Discourse GUI, providing examples of tags with no quotes, double quotes, and single quotes, while noting that tags must be lowercase. [david](/t/-/108853/2) confirms that any of these formats, or combinations thereof, should work fine. He also clarifies that if mixed-case tags are desired, a site setting is available to accommodate them, rather than requiring all lowercase.

If you would like to use mixed case tags, there is a site setting available.
