I had the same issue and I used command line in order to import the SQL file. This method has 3 advantages:
If you want to do this just follow this 3 steps:
Navigate to this path (i use wamp):
C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\bin>
Copy your sql file inside this path (ex file.sql)
Run this command:
mysql -u username -p database_name < file.sql
Note: if you already have your msql enviroment variable path set, you don't need to move your file.sql in the bin directory and you should only navigate to the path of the file.
