Yes, this should be expected as can easily be verified by doing: In[3]:= Complement[$ExportFormats, $ImportFormats] Out[3]= {EPS,FLV,Maya,MIDI,PICT,POV,SVG,SWF,TeX,VRML,X3D,ZPR} Similarly, you can find formats that can be imported but not exported with: In[4]:= Complement[$ImportFormats, $ExportFormats] Out[4]= {ApacheLog,CDED,CUR,DBF,Directory,EDF,GTOPO30,ICO,LaTeX,MBOX,\ MDB,MPS,MTP,NetCDF,ODS,PDB,QuickTime,RSS,SDTS,SXC,USGSDEM,VCF,XPORT} Note, this was done on In[5]:= $Version Out[5]= 6.0 for Mac OS X PowerPC (32-bit) (May 21, 2008) The results for other versions or other platforms will almost certainly be different.
