Items that have been moved outside the export folder are treated as deleted items and are not imported.

For example, if $/src/foo was moved to $/old/foo, and the export is then done at $/src/foo, then neither foo nor anything under it actually exists after the import. Also, labels that included $/src/foo would not be able to retrieve those in the newly imported folder when doing a Get on that label. In order to workaround this, you would need to export at a high enough level in the tree to include all the places the moved files/folders currently exist at.

Items that were moved into the export folder work fine, but they are considered “created” in the import, not “moved”, since the location they moved from would not exist.

Items moved completely within the exported folder should work without any issues.
