Importing localwp.sql keeps having errors...

When I try to do import the exported data base from localhost, which is localwp.sql, I can't import it. It keeps saying there's an error.

Error SQL query:

--

-- Database: localwp

--

-- Table structure for table wptest_commentmeta

CREATE TABLE wptest_commentmeta (

meta_id BIGINT( 20 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL , comment_id BIGINT( 20 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', meta_key VARCHAR( 255 ) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci DEFAULT NULL , meta_value LONGTEXT COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci ) ENGINE = INNODB DEFAULT CHARSET = utf8mb4 COLLATE = utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci;

MySQL said: Documentation

1273 - Unknown collation: 'utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci'

Can someone help me about this?
