This should all be handled with ctools, and any problems should be specific bug issues.

Uh, no, the UI needs to be built out to import objects - ctools doesn't build UIs like that automatically (look at Views, there's a lot of UI logic in importing). Ctools makes this a little easier, but there's going to be glue code and checking that things are complete in order for this to work.

Sorry, got some things mixed up.

So, what needs to happen with this?

* New menu items for each object type.
* Some sort of error handling. This can be borrowed from the submit/validate functions for each object type.
* Saving into database.

Marking as 7.x and putting as low priority since no one has every really asked about it; I think there are few people that export from code and then import via the interface. Still, it's a valid feature.

+1 for Import. Would speed things up a bit moving out of D6. (using 7.x-2.x-dev)
