Note: If you have created any custom URL category first import the same by the below  method before importing the Url filtering profiles

I created a Custom url filtering profile  named as my_custom  if you will search the custom category  in my case I have set the action as overried for this custom URL 

[     type / and then Enter the name of the Custom URL for example    /my_custom   ]

Copy the above 2  commands one by one and paste the same  on firewall B

follow the below procedure for URL filtering profiles

type / and then Enter the name of the URL filtering profile

The URL filtering profile which I want to Import is Students
