Cause

Import uses DBMS_EXPORT_EXTENSION package and you need to grant execute on DBMS_EXPORT_EXTENSION to the schema user being imported into.

Solution

The main issue here is lack of privileges. There are 2 possible solutions:

1. Grant execute on DBMS_EXPORT_EXTENSION to public.

Or:

2. Grant execute on DBMS_EXPORT_EXTENSION to the user/schema you are importing into (not the user who is running the import). For example, if you are importing into schema CDM_DB0 then grant execute to that user..
