WordPress hook which triggers on post import

If you are trying to fire your function when the WordPress Importer runs, there are a few filters and action hooks available.

From the plugin documentation:

import_start: occurs after the export file has been uploaded and author import settings have been chosen

import_end: called after the last output from the importer
