Iporting model with armature makes it smooth

Hey, so i got a model that i use Edge Split on to get a nice shading on it. if i just import the model of it it looks exacly as i want it to. But if i import it as a skeletal mesh as i need it to have bones it gets a smooth shading?

As long as i import it with the armature it gets smooth shaded.

How can i fix this?
What could be causing this?
