You should be aware of Exporting / Importing site does not preserve workflows, unfortunately, it's one of the disadvantages of the Exporting / Importing.
The alternatives workaround
- Use Backup-SPSite and Restore-SPSite for site collection instead of
ImportandExportwhere this will ensure that everything is restored. Or try to recreate the workflows manually by
- Opening the SharePoint designer in both source and destination site
- Create your list workflow, In source workflow
Select AllSteps and move it to the destination workflow.
- Or try to use 3rd party migration tool like sharegate, metalogix
- Or Use
Save Workflow as Templateas I mentioned at Backup & restore Designer workflow

It seems the steps in the reference link applies to only for 2010 workflow. Am I right? Commented Jun 28, 2017 at 13:34

It would work for SP 2013 too, Do you try it in SP 2013 and it's not working!? please confirm! I also remembered the save as template option for SP 2013 let me add it :) Commented Jun 28, 2017 at 14:13

1I am checking "All Files" -> Workflows folder. There are only 2010 workflows. And for 2010 workflow "Save as Template" option is not working. So I am thinking for 2013 Save as Template is an option. Commented Jun 28, 2017 at 15:04
