Just leaving this here in case someone hits this annoying snag.

This in MBP 2018 Touch bar running Monterey 12.1

After allowing "Contacts" in iCloud, most of my Contacts vanished. I have to assume iCloud's merging facility took some "intelligent" /s decision and decided to get rid of things... oh well.

Solution:

My contacts were still on a Moto Android so exported the lot, 689 contacts, to a .vcf.

Upon importing the file into to Contacts app, 216 contacts were not imported. I moved the not-imported contacts to separate .vcf and tried to import again and got the dreaded "no importable cards were found" :-( Much tried and test ensued.

It turned out that the first card of the not-imported contacts file had the "NOTE" record split in three lines.

Turning the three lines into a single one by deleting linefeeds (and extra "=" characters), solved the problem and all remaining records were imported.

Hope it helps.
