How do I import contacts from my PC?

I am new to Galaxy/Android and want to import my contacts from a VCF file on my PC. I connected the phone to the PC and can move files back and forth, but the Phone's Contact app's menu list does not include the prescribed import/export function. I am perplexed. HELP!

Log into your Gmail account via the website on your computer. In the Contacts area, you can import the VCF file or a similar format in your Gmail contacts. Google will sync them to the phone.

Ann: Thanks for the response. I ended up on-line chatting with Samsung support which resulted with needing to completely factory-reset the phone. This restored (enabled?) the Import/Export menu item which had been missing previously. Thankfully, the phone was brand new with little data already entered as the reset erased nearly everything!

reset "restored" import/export on the phone????

as ann154 mentioned, import contacts into gmail contacts on a pc, not the phone.

select "sync" contacts on the phone & anything added to contacts on the pc get to the phone.

The original problem was inability to import a VCF file of contacts from a PC into the phone's Contact app. The file was copied to the phone's memory, but the Contact app's menu did not include the import/export function that should have been there according to the instruction book. Samsung customer support walked me through a variety of fixes, but none worked and as a last resort we did a full "factory reset" of the phone. That solved the problem, the import/export function was restored.and I as able to import the VCF file of contacts.
