You'd have to hop in your time machine and travel back to 2007 and ask the original poster why he phrased it that way.

It’s impossible to import to no matter the prospective. As for the apostrophe, so many times people think it belongs before any s that I just ignore it. One case in point is saying 50’s which is a possessive that actually means belonging to 50 when they actually meant ‘50s, a contraction of sorts (the apostrophe substituting for 19) referring to the decade 1950.

Seventeen years ago, Dave (O_D) talked about RHD-Packards, sold by Leonard Williams but built in Canada. The following newspaper clippings confirm this report ("Made in Canada").

I think this is the point… The United States exported Packards. England imported Packards. The same is true today for many products. The United States imports millions of items from China. China exports those items to the United States.

When Mal made his explanation regarding the significance of the narrator's location at the moment of cross-border movement of goods, he was not concerned with the grammatical aspect. He simply pointed out the fact that it is an export from the perspective of someone who is resident in the supplying country and an import for someone who is resident in the supplied country. Mal did not use the word "to" in this context, and he did not refer to the original user of this word Packard53 (John F. Shireman), but quoted Mike (su8overdrive). The grammatical aspect ("to") that is subsequently criticized does not contradict Mal's explanation, but rather complements it. Having agreed on the unnecessary apostrophe, the need to subjectivize the verb and the grammatically dubious combination of “imported and “to”, our attention should now turn to the remaining destination of the goods traffic, “England”. In 1934, Leonard Willams opened an additional showroom and a service station in Scotland, which, as we know, is not in England but borders on it. source: Dundee Courier 04-04-1934
