Hi,
Yes indeed manufacturer is the same as brand, to import it you have to use the column name "product_manufacturer_id".
It says category because the brands are managed the same way than our categories, with some specificities, so no it is not an error.
The best to have all the column headings is to create a sample product in HikaShop, then export it, it will generate a csv file with all the desired informations.
Just one more thing, we have an import function to import shop data from Virtuemart 1, via ou menu Products > Import, select Import from Virtuemart.
Here is documentation related on the imports:
