What is the section between the package name and the class activity called

Can we say that this is the outer scope of the application? since to my knowledge there is no other capability than importing libraries in that area i wouldn't consider it as the outer scope but i could be wrong. What do we call this space? i am writing an essay describing my college project and i want to be precise about it.

package tk.gregory.myapplication;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }
}

Many people call it the imports section.

import in Java is a mechanism to name the types you use with unqualified names, e.g. AppCompatActivity in place of fully qualified android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity.
