Export to stp file from shapr3d but when import it hangs at the importing popup. Completes the blue progress line and stays there hours… until I cancel.

Can you share the file? This issue will be fixed with the next release, but until then, as a workaround you can for example try to upload it to onshape and export it from there to stp.
