What's the difference between Query and Import requests?

Using the QuickBooks PHP DevKit, I noticed there are many types of requests, and most of them map to specific requests in the qbXML API. However, two requests stand out, and I'm not sure what the difference is. Here's an example:

QUICKBOOKS_QUERY_INVOICE
QUICKBOOKS_IMPORT_INVOICE

And another

QUICKBOOKS_QUERY_DELETEDTXNS
QUICKBOOKS_IMPORT_DELETEDTXNS

What's the difference between these two? They map to InvoiceQuery and TxnDeletedQuery in qbXML respectively ... so why differentiate them?
