Hi Awards4u,

The problem come certainly from your export, because your csv files are not well formatted.
Do you just click on "Export" in HikaShop &gt; Products &gt; Products ?

Maybe you can try to update HikaShop on your old site to resolve this problem ?

In your old website, change the option "menu position" to "under the title" in the configuration and export the CSV again.
There is a problem in the current version with that and it adds the menu HTML code at the top of the CSV file if that "menu position" option is not the default value.
