    The best method is to export

    The best method is to export out a sample of data, continnue populating the list and then import. Note that any field exported with a (*) cannot be imported - usually becuase this is a calculated field - such as dates.

    for the most part this is

    for the most part this is true but some dates can be imported.

    But generally speaking it is beacuse they fields are calculated

    What is it you want to import

    Also you can use SDK and import anything
