```Python hl_lines="1"
{!> ../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial006.py!}
```

Declare the variable, with the same colon (`:`) syntax.

As the type, put the `List` that you imported from `typing`.

As the list is a type that contains some internal types, you put them in square brackets:

```Python hl_lines="4"
{!> ../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial006.py!}
```

    * It's mainly syntax sugar, a convenience for developer experience.
    * Now `Request`, `Response`, `WebSocket`, `status` can be imported directly from `fastapi` as in `from fastapi import Response`. This is because those are frequently used, to use the request directly, to set headers and cookies, to get status codes, etc.
