Once you've added all your details, save as a CSV and import the file by going to import:

Clicking on Product Inventories opens up a side panel. Select General Data from the Select data dropdown list, select the csv file to be imported then press the blue import button.

The import process will only complete if the file has no errors. If the file has errors an error log (in CSV format) will download to your download folder. Open this to see any errors flagged with a description of the error. Fix the errors and re-import.
