Just copy it into your keystore folder. Import is meant to load an unencrypted private key. You have a nice final encrypted key file so just copy :)

What ^^ said, the keystore directories are:
mainnet: $HOME/.ethereum/keystore
testnet: $HOME/.ethereum/testnet/keystore

I'm writing a utility so it has to import using the command only.
Is there a possibility of adding the feature for import of an encrypted file ?
