I have a codeigniter project that I am trying to upload a file too. When I submit the form I get back a data array of
Array ( [file_name] => [file_type] => [file_path] => ./uploads/ [full_path] => ./uploads/ [raw_name] => [orig_name] => [client_name] => [file_ext] => [file_size] => [is_image] => [image_width] => [image_height] => [image_type] => [image_size_str] => )
Even when I put a file in the input field.

Not really sure what is going on.
Try using form open multipart. Form upload needs the form type to be multipart. It is best to do this with the form helper:
<?php echo form_open_multipart('controller/method');?>
In your case copying your info something like:
<?php echo form_open_multipart($import_url, array('id'=>'import_form', 'target'=>'_blank'));?>
Which you can see in the docs here: https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/file_uploading.html#creating-the-upload-form
