Hi,
If you are using any third-party plugin to create custom data fields to products it will be stored as metadata. You can export and import any custom metadata stored with the products using the plugin. You may please export the product with the option include hidden metadata checked and the custom metadata fields will be included in the exported CSV. Later on, you can use the same exported CSV as a template to import data back. Hope this is clear.
