Hey Sandrine,

Step a:
  1. Insert the product in the Product2 table
Step b:
  1. If you are using different CURRENCY CODE's for different territories, export all the CURRENCY CODE's from PRICEBOOK2 table to associate Product  Prices in different Currencies/Territory. ( You will need PRICEBOOK2ID for the future steps)
​Step c:
Populate the following required columns along with others as necessary in PRICEBOOKENTRY Table .(Check all Salesforce Objects if you are using Data Loader)
  1. Product2ID: Use the “ID” from the “Product2” success file from Step a
  2. PriceBook2ID: get the Standard Price Book ID from file created in Step b
  3. CurrencyIsoCode: (only for multi currency orgs) use SFDC currency symbol
  4. Unit Price: this is the List Price/Standard Price field for the product
  5. UseStandardPrice: Select (YES) if you want to insert as Standard Price and NO as Custome Price
  6. IsActive: TRUE (must be TRUE to refer the current price )
​Insert the data into PRICEBOOKENTRY table

And, if you want to automate this process you have to use some an ETL tool ( like JitterBit or Informatica) or run Apex Data Loader using scheduler.

Good Luck,
Raja
