Its very easy to import a list of domains contained in a file with the pihole command and xargs:

Usage: pihole -w [options] <domain> <domain2 ...>
Example: 'pihole -w site.com', or 'pihole -w site1.com site2.com'
Whitelist one or more domains

Options:
  -d, --delmode       Remove domain(s) from the whitelist
  -nr, --noreload     Update whitelist without reloading the DNS server
  -q, --quiet         Make output less verbose
  -h, --help          Show this help dialog
  -l, --list          Display all your whitelistlisted domains
  --nuke              Removes all entries in a list
  --comment "text"    Add a comment to the domain. If adding multiple domains the same comment will be used for all

pi@ph5b:~ $ nano whitelist.domains.list
domain.1
domain.2
domain.3

pi@ph5b:~ $ xargs < whitelist.domains.list
domain.1 domain.2 domain.3
