Import and characterset conversion will not work if your dump file was made in chartacterset which is subset of characterset you are importing to, I mean US7ASCII is a subset of WE8ISO8859P1, you will be able to import from US7ASCII to WE8ISO8859P1, but you will not be able to import from superset to subset. Do you understand now?
