Hi Andy,
A table always has a minimal size of it's INITIAL extent size, even if it is empty. That is of course also true regarding an import.
Look inside the export dump file and the INITIAL storage parameter of the tables listed in it. You may change/reduce them by editing directly in the export dump file..... but be careful.
