There are a few ways depending on how the code was modularized. With well structure libraries with ES6-style module declarations, like lodash, you can use ES6 import statements as expected despite them not using TypeScript:

import * from "lodash" as _;

With other libraries, you can just require the library as you would normally and assign it to the import:

import lib = require("somelib");
