MYSQLDUMP : Errors while restoring database

I created a backup of mysql database from my live site using mysqldump and downloaded the SQL file (~960MB). I've a local install of MariaDB and I tried importing the database again using mysqldump. I am getting following error:

-- MySQL dump 10.16  Distrib 10.2.10-MariaDB, for osx10.13 (x86_64)

-- Host: localhost    Database: original
-- ------------------------------------------------------

I'm not allowed to make any changes to the live DB and would really appreciate if there's a way to import this DB successfully to my local DB.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

As noted in comments,

That's not an error, it's just comments in the dump file.

Additionally,

You don't use mysqldump to import, only to export. You use mysql < filename to import

From this question: MariaDB i am not able to import this dump file

You import the dump like so:

mysql -u root -p --database=db_name < dumpfile.sql
