Description is the only field that may contain line break/new lines. Some spreadsheet applications support new lines (CR/LF characters) within quoted CSV. If you have problems with this, you may optionally also use the literal characters '\n' which will be interpreted as a newline.

Refer to the example csv for a demonstration of all three examples.

If we cannot determine the location, your default location will be used instead.

Length, Width & Height

This is the total length, width, or height of the inventory item in feet (ft) or inches (in).
