 * Hi again. We found the problem.
 * All the data is imported to database, but not correctly. For every custom field,
   a new entry is created with the name of the field that the plugin “advanced custom
   fields” gives to it (for example: field_519ddf2b67b8b).
 * When you save a value into that the custom post manually, the field is recorded
   as the name you have provided (for example country_name).
 * I do not know why this plugin is making it that way. While it is solved, a way
   to make it work is, once imported, update directly into the database the ocurrences
   at the table wp_postmeta, for ‘field_519ddf2b67b8b’ with ‘country_name’. All 
   ocurrences less two first results (when you look for ‘field_519ddf2b67b8b’) that
   are those to define the field internally.
 * I hope this will have help.
    Kind regards.

 * Content, titles, excerpts and taxonomies are imported perfect. Only custom fields
   created from advanced custom fields

 * Hi.
    Thanks for the reeponse. I am using advanced custom fields.
 * Should I use any date column into the CSV file? I import the rows without any
   date.
    Thanks.

 * Try saving the CSV file with UTF-8 codification.
    Is not, you will have to scape
   characters.
