This question helped me with how to export a profile configuration file, but how do I import that file into iterm2 on my new machine?

(the file I exported was called com.googlecode.iterm2.plist, for what it's worth)

Answer

just upload your *.plist to ~/Library/Preferences.
Notice, that checkbox:

Load preferences from a custom folder or URL

in Preferences - General (at the bottom) must be disabled.
