Anil, there are some limitations on work item export and import. You will not be able to copy all the information AFAIK. I think you will lose history, approvals, attachments and links. Here are some documents which should help:

I will assume you are using RTC 6.0.3. The steps should be similar if you are on a different version.

If both servers are in the same repository, you can copy a workitem from one project area to the other without loss, however, I believe you can only copy one work item at a time. Open the workitem and select the option to copy or move to a different project area.

You can copy widgets over from one dashboard to another, but otherwise you need to recreate the dashboards too.

Maybe this is a start.
