Are your certificates in PEM format?

 

 

This is from the Local Traffic Configuration Guide for BIG-IP v9.2.2

 

 

Importing keys, certificates, and archives

 

 

If you have transferred a key/certificate pair, a certificate, or a key/certificate archive onto the LTM system from another system, and the certificate or archive is in the form of a file or a base-64 encoded text string, you can import this certificate or archive into the Configuration utility. By importing a certificate or archive into the Configuration utility, you ease the task of managing that certificate or archive. You can use the Import SSL Certificates and Keys screen only when the certificate you are importing is in Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format.

 

 

From the looks of your error message, the input format is incorrect. If I were you I'd try to get the import working from the GUI first. There may be some more error reporting in there. If all else fails, F5 Product Technical Support could probably help you out.
