import with different provider fails when using terraform cloud

[mrinella-fs]

I am attempting to import a few existing aws resources into an existing state that are in a different region than the default provider in this terraform workspace. The backend is terraform cloud, so the action is happening there.

For both of the attempts I have made, the result is:

Error: Cannot import non-existent remote object

The commands I am running:

terraform import -provider=aws.prod-us-east-2 aws_vpc. vpc- terraform import -provider=aws.prod-us-east-2 aws_vpc_dhcp_options. dopt-

terraform version 0.12.23 aws provider version 2.54

I can assure you the places where I obscured the names and the ids were checked many times and I do have them correct. The provider name is also correct for this codebase. The default provider region is us-east-1. I have built things in both regions in this codebase. I'm just trying to bring in some existing items now.

Hopefully I'm doing something wrong and its easy.
