The simplest is via PowerShell, also note from the documentation;

If you specify the ScopeOverWrite parameter and the scope being imported exists on the destination server, the scope on the target DHCP server service is overwritten. If this parameter is not specified and the scope being imported exists on the destination DHCP server service, a warning message is displayed and the import proceeds to process the next scope being imported.
