it will work on parent pipline, Are you using another other assembly in your plugin if yes make sure you have register that assembly in GAC.

In order for a Plug-In to apply to records that pass through the "Data Import" feature, they need to be written to execute in the Child-pipeline of the relevant messages (Create, or Update).

I stand corrected. Mahender is right, and I'm wrong. I'm just used to using the Child-pipeline to catch Creates and Updates through non-traditional channels that I forgot Data Import isn't one that requires it .
It didn't occur to me to read "i am getting unable to load plug-in type when i am using CRM data import" as a paraphrase of an actual error message. In that case, I'd say the most common error with new Plug-Ins is the failure to properly Sign them (with a Strong Name key file) before deploying them. The SDK has helpful information on how to write Plug-Ins, if this is your first time .
