Hi,
So in the CSV that you got when you used the export button, you must have seen "empty" rows at the beginning which only contains the category structure.
You can even do a test on our demo website if you want:
demo.hikashop.com/administrator/index.ph...ikashop&ctrl=product
You'll see that thanks to such lines, you can add as many levels of categories as you want with a CSV.
Our CSV documentation also explains what to write in the parent_category and categories columns in order to do that:

Importing product categories
Then, you can also have a categories column where you can put a list of categories id or a list of categories namekey.
For example:
product_code,product_name,categories
my_product_1,My first product,"2,13"
This will add one product with 2 categories attached: the category with the id 2 and the one with the id 13. You can find ids of categories on the category listing in the column called ID on the right of the listing.
You can import a tree of categories which will be created if they don't exist already in HikaShop with the option "Create automatically missing categories" set to "yes". For example, you could have something like:
parent_category,categories
product category,main category 1;main category 2;main category 3
main category 1,sub category 1;sub category 2
You could also mix both products and categories in the CSV:
product_code,parent_category,categories
,main category 1,sub category 2
my_product_1,main category 1,sub category 2
