  Tools – Import there is no option to upload the file, it goes straight to the PRocessing screen.

  Hi there,

  It looks like there was a previous stuck import on your site. I’ve cleared that for you.

  You should now be able to import the new file. Note that you can also import by going to My Site ->Settings ->Import
