The issue is 'product_desc' table

If you open in excel and trim / clean formula in the description it will solve the issue and everything import/export fine.

This can really mess things up if people forgot to clean there html during the import process.
Without further information, it sounds like a "Garbage in, garbage out" scenario.

That "characteristics" are you referring to and what is "it" that doesn't like them?

Are you using Microsoft Excel? If so, what is your setting for Configuration / Database I/O Manager Settings / CSV: Encoding? Note that for Microsoft Excel, that should be set to 'latin1'.
