That's because you shouldn't really be importing/exporting between clouds. The best way to avoid any issues would be to have your instances built from from a clean ISO install and then have them run post scripts or via a config manager (puppet, chef, etc...). This can be achieved in both Windows and Linux instances and will give you the most flexibility between any IaaS provider, hardware of cloud.
