 As a theme author, a big part of our documentation and guidance is
 instructing people how to replicate different theme previews. Fr complex
 Customizer settings, it would be great to be able to provide a user with a
 file which could be uploaded to the site. Much like uploading an xml file
 to import the post/page content.

 I'm aware of plugins such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/customizer-
 export-import. However I think it would be a great enhancement to add
 import/export functionality to core, removing the reliance on a plugin and
 the extra burden this adds for beginner level users.

 This could also help alleviate issues raised in #27177.

 The import/export options could be a further development of the UI
 mentioned in #39896.
