If you are using impdp command example from @sathyajith-bhat response:

impdp / directory= dumpfile=.dmp logfile=.log full=y;

you will need to use mandatory parameter directory and create and grant it as:

CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY DMP_DIR AS 'c:\Users\USER\Downloads';
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY DMP_DIR TO {USER};

or use one of defined:

select * from DBA_DIRECTORIES;

My ORACLE Express 11g R2 has default named DATA_PUMP_DIR (located at {inst_dir}\app\oracle/admin/xe/dpdump/) you sill need to grant it for your user.
