You can't get it to change through import.

You need to go into the Imbalance account and change every transaction
so that instead of ending in Imbalance it ends in the correct
Income/Expense account.  To do this you will need to split-expand the
transaction and change Imbalance to the correct account.  Then the
transaction will disappear from Imbalance

Once you're done, the Imbalance account will be empty (and thereby 0
balance).
