  Could you try a clean import and see if it’s still over 15MB?

  Or, if this is from WordPress, can I have you try creating a clean import? To do this, first delete any spam / unmoderated comments , then create your export again. It should be much smaller.

  If that doesn’t work, I would add the modlook tag to this thread so a staff member can assist you.

  Hi there,

  It’s not possible to import files bigger than 15MB, so if the site from which you exported is still online, please create a new export from that site, exporting posts for only a few months at a time so you’re left with several smaller files instead.

  The other option is to search online for an XML splitter app and use that to split your file into smaller pieces which you can then import separately.
