Hi Yury, The dataset looks interesting. Just browsing in locations I know myself, I see a few records that don't have an actual permanent presence on the ground (farmer's markets) but most seem accurate and up-to-date.
Instead of straight up importing you could consider putting the community to work :) and use MapRoulette. I could see two different MapRoulette challenges. The first one would consist of the subset of locations that you can match to existing retail POIs in OSM. You could create a tag fix challenge[1] to have mappers add whatever tags are appropriate. The second one could consist of any remaining locations asking mappers to add the retail shop. For that you would ideally have additional proof such as Mapillary or OSC imagery, or use a mobile surveying app to have mappers validate the information on the ground. MapRoulette currently does not offer that yet, unfortunately, but there's StreetComplete which may work for that part.
