If you need to import a KML/KMZ file into Civil 3D or Map 3D, you can do it using a free download from SL-King Spatial Solutions.  

I'm pretty sure the Autodesk supplied Google Earth extension does not provide for import.  If you were to consider third party add-ons, take a look at MapWorks Base which will handle KML files, including projecting them to state plane, etc.  Currently KMZ isn't supported but we could likely add that if needed (it's just a zip file).

If you need to import a KML/KMZ file into Civil 3D or Map 3D, you can do it using a free download from SL-King Spatial Solutions. Be sure to read the readme file because the install does require you to copy some files and edit an existing file.
