I've experienced the java.lang.NullPointerException error on imports as well. Not certain the cause but, if I remember correctly, I've prevented the error by making certain the first row of data doesn't have any null columns. In cases where null was the correct column value I've entered a space or zero depending on the intended data type of the column. Not having any nulls in the first data row seems to prevent the error. I don't remember any differences, except the lack of error message, when importing from a source that has a null value vs doesn't (either non-null is correct value or I've inserted a space). For my part this has only been done with small tables, 20 - 200 rows, and not many operations have been performed on the data afterwards. In that limited environment I haven't encountered a difference in the tables that were created with the import error and those that were created without the import error.
