When moving 1password.com to 1password.eu, I would like to export from .com and re-import in .eu.
I have created (export) 1pux file and it seems there is no import option in application (...

Thank you @J.M and 1P_Ben. This is definitely my bad. I should have been more clear and detailed about the requirement. First off, I'm referring to a later date when my Mac is also on 1Password 8. Here is what I would want.
I want a daily local backup. That file should be easy to keep backed up as part of my usual and extensive data backup (i.e. daily and weekly disk clones, 3 Time Machine backups, Arq backups). All of my backups are encrypted. Also, I want to be able to access most of the data using non-1Password tools, ideally just a text editor. 1pif format did that for me.
I do trust 1Password in that I don't believe the entries maintained in my vaults are vulnerable to having their encrypted data exposed. However, disasters happen and I have to plan for worst-case scenarios. I need to plan for 1Password server failures. The server could begin to fail by communicating to my program that all my entries are gone and then crash and be unreachable.
The SQLLite database gets me 90% there. I can just restore an earlier version of the database. I do know how to query an SQLLite database, but I'm assuming the schema is not publicly available and the queried data would be encrypted and unusable. So, I'd just use 1Password program already installed. This is a reasonable, temporary substitute for not being able to import 1pux files.
You might already have the import of 1pux sorted out before I upgrade to version 8 on the Mac. Just in case, if I decide to upgrade earlier, where is the SQLite database be on the Mac?
I see above that the intention was to have import available before general release. I can assume that 1Password doesn't consider it a very important requirement since the general release did happen without that functionality. Can the 1pux be used in any way other than by importing it into 1Password?
