How does the import csv-function handle double records?

Hey,
I've been looking into migrating to OpenEMM, but I can't figure this out:
we export large sets of data from our systems (event registration, project registration) each with their own fields. So, for instance, the event module would export a field [eventx=1] to indicate person y was at event x.
Suppose this person's email-adress is already registered in the system, how does the import-function handle the aforementioned field? Is it ignored? Or is it added to the records?
The same goes for address-fields. Does the import-function simply overwrite these if they are already present in the system?
