Using eclipse, packages can be imported to project. If the program is going to be run on another device, do imported packages need to be placed in the project folder initially?

What I have tried:

It works fine in eclipse, no matter where the packages located.

They can be stored anywhere as long as you tell Java where they are (see below) when you run your application.

java -classpath <list of directories to search>

So, since the destination device do not have that package (most likely), so they should be in the folder of the program ?

You can do that, but you should use an installer package to make sure. See Trail: Deployment (The Java™ Tutorials)[^].
