These rules are most important for you, gentlemen, although they are important for the ladies as well.

The above sentence comes from CAE. But I read in OXFORD DICTIONARY the sentence: It is important to me that you should be there.

When should we use 'to' or 'for' after 'important'? Could I say it was because we could say
'These rules are most important for you (to obey/ follow), gentlemen, although they are important for the ladies (to obey/ follow) as well' that the 'for' should be used?

Could I ask native English teachers to help me please? Thank you in advance.
