 * I exported the list on one WP site and when I imported that .csv file that was
   saved on my computer, I get the following error:
 * Problem uploading file to import. Error details: ‘Sorry, you are not allowed 
   to upload this file type.’

 * You surely have some kind of restriction to upload CSV.
 * Try to find it and disable it, but in the meantime you can do this quick fix.
 * In wp-config.php insert this directive:
 * define(‘ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS’, true);
