@sudo87
did you mean the UI said import succeeded but actually did not ?
any error logs ?

[sudo87]

Yes, import succeeds and adds a dummy Instance. There wasn't any error related to import.

E.g. When we import unmanaged instance with id i-2-33-VM, new instance is shown in CloudStack with id i-2-37-VM (dummy). And i-2-33-VM instance remains in Unmanaged list. So now we have dummy instance in CloudStack and i-2-33-VM remains unmanaged.
