You cannot import a dump file from PL/SQL developer. Instead, you have to do it from the command line. Furthermore, you need access to the file system of the database server since you have to put the dump file in a directory directly accessible by Oracle.
The tool to import the dump file is called impdp (in earlier version, it was imp).
My experience is that you need information how the dump file was created so you can use the correct import mode:
You’ll find more information about impdp on this PSOUG web page.
