It is unclear to me what exactly you are talking about.

The terms "export" and "import" usually refer to the commands
gpg --export[...]
gpg --import

But it also sounds like you have copied the whole directory ~/.gnupg/


If you have copied the directory then maybe the file permissions have 
not been preserved. Check whether secring.gpg has 600. And delete the 
file random_seed.

If you have exported and imported instead then you are missing the trust 
database. You should either copy trustdb.gpg or export and import this 
data, too:

gpg --export-ownertrust
gpg --import-ownertrust
