I had the exact same error now - I figured it out. I think you have connected to your mongo instance on mongolab first before you wanted to import. You must not connect to mongolab first - disconnect by typing in "exit" in the shell to get back to command prompt. Then issue the mongoimport command again, the import should work this time.

the document mongoimport the correct syntax 

mongoimport -host 127.0.0.1 -port 27017 -u user -p pass -collection testdbjson --db testdb --file /home/pet/mng/json_test.json

or

mongoimport -host 127.0.0.1:27017 -u user -p pass -collection testdbjson --db testdb --file /home/pet/mng/json_test.json
