Answers above can help, just adding my suggestion in addition as you can just bypass restrictions by directing using source command to import. As an alternative to mysql -u username -p database_name < file.sql, you can first login to mysql, select database and then import by source as below.

mysql -u username -p    
mysql> use db_name;
mysql> source path-to/file.sql;
