User interface vs command line interface

Packages can be exported and imported via both the user interface ("UI") and the command line interface ("CLI").

Exports

Packages exported via the command line interface (CLI) are exported as individual files
Packages exported via the user interface (UI) are exported as a *.tar.gz archive. A package archive that was exported via the UI will contain individual files identical to a package exported via the CLI.

Imports

Imports using the user interface (UI) require package files to be compressed into a single archive. Supported formats are “tar.gz”, “tgz” and “tar.bz2”.
Imports using the Drush CLI tool expect a package directory to contain individual files. Importing from *.tar.gz file via Drush CLI tools is not supported.
