    Unfortunately importing entries is a complex task with the way our database is structured.
    It can be done, but it will require somebody with some PHP experience.

    I've understand how to import post with a csv file, with custom fields and taxonomies defined in the form.

    Please explain me how to connect my post as an entry for my form ?

    Posts aren't entries. Entries are stored in the Gravity Forms entry tables. They aren't stored in the WordPress post table. So you can't turn a Post into an entry for a form.
