Don't import. Use a FEDERATED TABLE to access the user table from your Membership database to the database used by your Joomla application.

- I didn't advice to copy the database tables. In fact, I adviced to keep them where they are now.
- I certainly didn't advice to copy the website.

If you don't know the tools you use, you either start learning or you pay someone to do things for you that you can't do yourself. That's the other way.

That's a feature from MySQL. So how to do it is in the MySQL documentation.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ is a good point to start your studies.
