In the process of importing a contact list from a file or adding contacts using copy and paste, you need to match the column name with loaded data. At the right of each column title, select the required Field that the data Maps-to from the drop-down list.

You can exclude some columns from contacts by selecting Skip column from the drop-down. After all the column headers are selected, click Continue in the bottom right corner.
Note: Because of excel date and time format variations in case there are Custom Fields with the date attribute the accepted format is CSV only.
