I am confused, maybe it means "from". The sentence sounds a little weird, I would like to say “从。。。进口” , which means "import...from". or "向。。。出口", which means "export to"

China imported wheat FROM Canada

O so the original English was badly written! 字面看， "向。。。进口"就等于"把。。。出口到"。

No. It means China exported TO Canada. From is 从。 "中国从加拿大进口大批小麦" means China imported from.
