Hi there – What type of file are you trying to import (for example, WordPress, Blogger, Xanga, etc.)?
You are attempting to import it into this blog, correct:

Are you referring to two WordPress.COM blogs? yes or no?
If you answer is yes then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-between-wordpress-com-blogs
If following those instructions do not result in success then you must post both blog URLs here so we can help you. -
Are you referring to importing content into a WordPress.ORG install? Yes or no? If you answer is yes then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
If following those instructions do not result in success then you must post both blog URLs here so we can help you. -
Now the error is site does not exist.
At what point are you seeing the above error message? On exporting your WordPress.com site or when you try to import it to your new site?
Have you tried to export it as a single file rather than piecemeal? If so, what happens?

Now at the wordpress that is free is it .org or com? Can you tell me that?
From the free site I am trying to upload to my domain. I have followed the steps in the instructions of the link that timethief has suggested.
The error justjennifer is when I am importing it at the domain it uploads about 20% then says site does not exist. -

Hi there – Are you just trying to use your domain with your blog? If so, you don’t need to export or import. Instead, you just need to map your domain by following these instructions:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-mapping-an-existing-domainLet me know if that helps, or if that’s not what you’re trying to do. Please also let me know the domain you’re trying to use – I can see your WordPress.com blog here.
