Other
Many email clients and PIM programs allow contacts to be exported to a file. We support the following types of contact file:

• Comma-separated values (.csv)
• vCards (.vcf)
• Tab-delimited text (.txt)
• LDAP Data Interchange Format (.ldif)

Please check your email client's documentation to see whether contact export to one of these formats is supported. If it's not, you can make a suggestion for Facebook to add support for the contact file format that your email client is capable of exporting.
