If this is a one-time conversion, it would be easiest to import ALL records, then find the "not available" ones and delete the rest. You can do this in a temp table (or file) if you prefer - esp. if you already have some other data in the target table.

Well, if you cannot control the output on the exporting side (always the better alternative), then validate the target field to accept only the "not available" value/s. Set the validation to 'Validate always'. Records that do not pass the validation will be skipped during the import.
