Answers.Text: @JoeMurray - it IS importable per the schema, but like other address fields, if it's disabled in the location I mentioned above, it will not appear in the list of importable fields in the import UI.

Answers.Body: <p>Check the country field is there for which (contact, events, etc.) you are trying to import or not. Suppose you are trying to import contact then you need to check the country field is there or not for contact (you can check it by creating a new contact link). If there is no country field, then you need to add a custom field for contact.</p>

Body: <p>I've noticed upon matching mapping fields in the import process that for some fields in the file they are missing in the CiviCRM drop-downs. For instance, for a field named "Home County' the CiviCRM drop-down for 'County does not appear. But choose 'Employee of' and 'County' appears. In fact, it is one of the only other, unrelated fields that it appears.</p>
  
  <p>Please advise. Thank you in advance.</p>
