Dean, It should be possible to use either the Import QIF, Import OFX/QFX, Import Transactions from CSV options depending on the format you have exported them in. I haven't used the QIF import for stock information so I can't really comment on it.
The CSV importer was largely rewritten going to V3 and the documentation has not yet fully caught up. I have imported stock transactions exported from GnuCash using the default GnuCash Export Format with the Simple Layout export option switched off (It outputs only a single line per transaction in Simple Layout mode ( not enough info)- the multiline exports a line for each account entry (split) associated with the transaction). The easiest way to get a handle on the export format is to export a transaction which is similar to the transactions you wish to import to get a handle on the exported columns. The critical information will be the account information for each split the amount (the importer uses a Deposit or Withdrawal label for this rather than Debit and Credit ) and the price data. Columns like the transaction ID are not critical as they will be recreated on import if not present. The closer you can get the data you want to import to the default GnuCash Export format the easier importing data with price information will be. In some testing of the importer I found the export format often created the price in the form of a rational number and on some occasions that was not interpreted correctly on import. I am in the process of creating some examples of importing for the tutorial guide but have been sidetracked by life a bit lately and haven't really fully systematicall tested stock and currency type imports. The documentation in progress is a little bit hard to access as not all of it has been pushed to the main GnuCash/gnucash github repository yet. I should be able to rebuild the branch I have been working on and post a link to a copy in my Dropbox account later today.
