I just discovered a very handy api to import taxonomy.
It is included with the taxonomy csv module in the file taxonomy_csv.api.inc

I needed to do something very simple import some terms into a vocabulary (no hierarchy, no related terms, just tags..). I already had my csv parser to create my nodes so I did not use the interface of the module. Since I had my terms in an array I just needed to prepare them and import them with this api function :

<?php
  //prepare
  $terms = array(
    array('name' => $data[20]),
    array('name' => $data[21]),
    array('name' => $data[22]),
    array('name' => $data[23]),
    array('name' => $data[24]),
    array('name' => $data[27]),
    array('name' => $data[28]),
  );

  foreach ($terms as $term) {
    //voc id
    $term['vid'] = ASSOC;
    if ($term['name']) {
      //this is the function
      taxonomy_csv_term_import($term, TAXONOMY_CSV_EXISTING_UPDATE_REPLACE);
    }
  }
?>

But this is not it, the modules api can do a lot more. Import vocabularies in total, create hierarchies, related terms, ...
All help is in the files comments.
