You can import data in 3 ways.

1) Using BULK INSERT
2) By using Import/Export Wizard
3) By using SSIS packages ---------->Follow this link: http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2011/05/12/sql-server-import-csv-file-into-database-table-using-ssis/
Select Flat File Source from Data flow Sources

Just to add one additional point to the above. By default, whenever you use Bulk Insert or Import/Export the datatypes will be of varchar. Make sure you use conversion factor or insert the data to another table with desired datatypes once loading is done from flat file.
