Which import option did you use? What that the Import YouTube/OPML subscriptions one?

Also had that issue when trying to import via the "Import YouTube playlist (.csv)" option. As a workaround, importing the same CSV file in NewPipe, exporting from NewPipe as JSON, and importing that JSON in Invidious worked just fine.

Happening with NewPipe import too
