Normally an import would identify if the file had an avid "native" codec and if so and it didn't match the import settings you had selected it would pop up with a dialogue asking if you wish to ignore your import choices and fast import or import using the settings you'd selected and effectively re-encode (and then ask if you wanted that done for all remianing files or not)
It's often easier to AMA link and then consolidate of course.
