Hello.
If all your data has the same encoding it shouldn't be a problem. Just check that character_set_server and character_set_database variables have 'utf8' value for each database in which you're going to import data. Than invokes mysql with --default-character-set = 'encoding_of_your_data'. All tables should be created with default utf8 charset and data will be converted to utf8 during the import.
