The tax zone import can import CSV files only. A CSV file is a plain text file with values separated by commas. You can export Excel files to CSV files in Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet software. With this feature and the Tax Zone export feature you can now export to XLS, open the file in Excel, made edits, save to CSV, then import with the changes.
