Why it happens...

In Import via File mode, there is an issue with the ZIP file or package contents.

To resolve:

Delete the package by clicking the trashcan icon and re-upload the submission package ZIP file.

If the error persists, export the submission package from the previous journal’s ScholarOne site again and upload the newer copy of the ZIP file.
