Because Shopify navigation can link to store resources, like products, pages, collections... and all these resources ids (unique identifiers) are specific to each store, when importing a navigation from one store to another, the navigation structure is kept the same (nesting, links order) but the resource links (just the resource links) might be substituted by a hash links (empty links), or you can choose to preserve resource links, but you need to edit the imported menu json file first and update links with resourceId to be resource ids from the new store (the store that we want to import navigation to), more info.
