Export/Import policy is not exposed via API, this would be a good starting point for anyone terraforming their instances.  
Ultimately we would like to have API’s that allow adding/managing individual rules/components so our IAC can ensure we maintain our desired state over all the configuration of the Nexus IQ Platform.
