Importing Contacts from a Google Apps Business Account Fails

If you try to import the contacts from a Google Apps business account with the requirement for an HTTPS connection enabled, the import process will fail.
To import your Google Apps business account contacts, please disable the following option in your Google account:
Settings ➔ Contacts ➔ force SSL
With Force SSL disabled, it should be possible to import your contacts.
