  [boolean]$emptyfirst  
 )  
 ##Variables that should not be edited  
 $termsetName="My Navigation"  
 function CreateTerm( $parent, $name, $url )  
 {  
  Write-Host "Adding term $($parent.Name) -> $name"  
   $term = $parent.CreateTerm("$name", 1033)  
  $term.IsAvailableForTagging = $false  
  $term.SetLocalCustomProperty("_Sys_Nav_ExcludedProviders", '"CurrentNavigationTaxonomyProvider"')  
  $term.SetLocalCustomProperty("_Sys_Nav_SimpleLinkUrl", $url)  
  #$term.SetLocalCustomProperty("tIME", $url)  
  return $term  
 }  
 function GetTerm($termName, $parent)  
 {  
   $termName = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TaxonomyItem]::NormalizeName($termName)  
   $term = $null  
  if( $termName -ne "" -and $parent -ne $null ){  
  if( $parent.Terms -ne $null ) {  
   $term = $parent.Terms | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "$termName"}  
  }  
  if($term -eq $null ){  
   $term = CreateTerm -parent $parent -name "$termName" -url $_.URL  
  }  
  }  
  return $term;  
 }  
 function ImportTermSet([Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TermSet]$set, [PSCustomObject]$terms) {   
  $terms | foreach {  
  $level1TermName = $_."Level 1 Term"  
  $level2TermName = $_."Level 2 Term"  
  $level3TermName = $_."Level 3 Term"  
   $level1Term = GetTerm -termName $level1TermName -parent $set  
  $level2Term = GetTerm -termName $level2TermName -parent $level1Term  
  $level3Term = GetTerm -termName $level3TermName -parent $level2Term   
  }  
  $ErrorActionPreference = "Continue";  
 }  
 Write-Host "Loading IIS module"  
 Import-Module WebAdministration  
 Write-Host "Loading SharePoint Commandlets"

 $site = Get-SPSite $siteUrl  
 $web = $site.RootWeb  
 $session = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.TaxonomyNavigation]::CreateTaxonomySessionForEdit($web)  
 $store = $session.TermStores[0]    
 $group = $session.TermStores.Groups | Where-Object {$_.SiteCollectionAccessIds -eq $site.ID }  
 $navigationSet = $group.TermSets | where { $_.Name -eq $termsetName }  
 if( $navigationSet -ne $null -and $emptyfirst) {  
  Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "Removing existing termset"  
  $navigationSet.Delete()  
  $navigationSet = $null  
 }  
 if( $navigationSet -eq $null) {  
  Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "Creating termset"  
  $navigationSet = $group.CreateTermSet($termsetName)  
 }  
 $navigationSet.SetCustomProperty("_Sys_Nav_IsNavigationTermSet", "True")  
 $navigationSet.SetCustomProperty("_Sys_Nav_AttachedWeb_SiteId", $site.ID.ToString())  
 $navigationSet.SetCustomProperty("_Sys_Nav_AttachedWeb_WebId", $site.RootWeb.ID.ToString())   
 $navigationSet.SetCustomProperty("_Sys_Nav_AttachedWeb_OriginalUrl", $site.RootWeb.Url )  
 #2013-02-05T12:52:07.5250653Z  
 $date = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ"   
 $navigationSet.SetCustomProperty("_Sys_Nav_AttachedWeb_Timestamp", $date )  
 Write-Host "Importing Term Set CSV File"  
 $scriptpath = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path  
 $dir = Split-Path $scriptpath  
 $fileEntries = [IO.Directory]::GetFiles($dir);   
 foreach($fileName in $fileEntries)   
 {   
  $ext=[System.IO.Path]::GetExtension($fileName)  
  if($ext -eq ".csv")  
  {  
  Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "Processing $fileName"  
  $CSVFILEPATH=$fileName;  
  $terms = Import-Csv -Delimiter ';' $fileName  
  ImportTermSet $navigationSet $terms  
  "All term sets have been imported"  
  Write-Host  
   }  
 }  
 $store.CommitAll()   
 Write-Host "Setting site nav to use taxonomy"  
 $settings = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.WebNavigationSettings($web);  
 $settings.GlobalNavigation.Source = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.StandardNavigationSource]::TaxonomyProvider  
 $settings.GlobalNavigation.TermStoreId = $store.Id  
 $settings.GlobalNavigation.TermSetId = $navigationSet.Id  
 $web.Update()  
 $settings.Update($session)  


Note :
1. Script file and .csv file should be in same folder.
2. This script supports import for multiple .csv files too. However it has to be in same folder.
3. Script will look for .csv in the current folder and will do import to Term store.
4.As well this script will set site navigation to use the taxonomy, It will set the navigation link with provided url to the term.

  3. Hi this is kind of what I am looking for but I want to generate a set of identical term Ids / Guids that for both development and prod. In my case some the terms as created in our UAT env will be used to tag data that I may need to port to production, hence I can't just do the a straight csv import.
