Hey there, I'm not sure if this will help, but I've created a [ Microsoft Excel spreadsheet](http://bit.ly/hikashop-csv-import) with probably over 70 columns containing every field possible for a particular product. It comes complete with comments if you hover over many of the column headers and even a [ visual tutorial](http://bit.ly/10mTBeJ) to demonstrate how to export the file as CSV and import into HikaShop 2.x+. I know it works because I've used it to import a few hundred products myself. Please let me know if the spreadsheet and YouTube video is helpful; I just created it a hour ago because I hadn't seen anything like it. Thanks!
