Here is an example of a file format which will be accepted in the import:

At this time we only support imports that have been exported from Google or Apple contacts as described above. If you have a file from another source, the import likely will not work. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do on our side to fix this. So we recommend that you do your best to adhere to the standards outlined above.

If you import the file and there are errors, like a duplicated contact, you can click on the Total Errors button and it will give you more detailed report regarding the errors that were flagged. It is only available right after the import is complete; once you change the page, the clickable link will disappear.
