Cant import a .csv file in outlook 2019

I try to export some of my gmail contact lists to outlook (2019). I can export the files in .csv format from gmail. However, I do not see a way to import .csv files in outlook.. When I tab file / import I only have .pst and .olm options.

Any thoughts on how I can import .csv files in this version of outlook (or another way to transfer contact lists?)
