unable to import custom metadata records using sfdx force:data:tree:import into scratch org

I am trying alternatives to export data and import data using salesforce cli and came across a scenario where I was able to export the custom metadata records but when I try to import the same to another scratch org I am finding CANNOT_INSERT_UPDATE_ACTIVATE_ENTITY  entity type cannot be inserted.

{
    "records": [
        {
            "attributes": {
                "type": "TR1__mapping__mdt",
                "referenceId": "TR1__mapping__mdtRef1"
            },
            "DeveloperName": "LastName_DefaultValue",
            "Label": "LastName DefaultValue",
            "Language": "en_US",
            "MasterLabel": "LastName DefaultValue",
            "QualifiedApiName": "LastName_DefaultValue",
            "TR1__Def_Value__c": "UNKNOWN",
            "TR1__Field_API__c": "LastName",
            "TR1__Node__c": "Contact"
        }
]
}
I see that salesforce allows records deployments with ANT but was curious to know why they allowed export feature but import is not working using salesforce cli commands.

Salesforce CLI commands for custom metadata types are available from v49 (Summer'20).  Metadata records can be inserted using :

force:cmdt:generate
Generates a custom metadata type and all its records for the provided sObject.
force:cmdt:record:create
Create a new record for a given custom metadata type in the current project.
force:cmdt:record:insert
Create new custom metadata type records from a CSV file.

Check the following links for more information:
