I'm not 100% certain if this is correct, but if you make custom units that you plan to use over multiple maps, you need to make it in a mod and not a map. I'm not sure if you can add a map as a dependency, as when I try, it doesn't let me select map.
Basically, if you plan to make a campaign with units spanning multiple maps, you make a mod and each map uses that mod as a dependency. Even if you use your mod as a dependency, you can make modifications at a map level, but those are always unique to the map you change them in.
As far as using those units in another map, since you've already created them, I'm not sure if that is possible and perhaps someone with more knowledge of the editor can provide us with insight.

I've done creating Custom Unit and now i want to export or save my custom unit to be able to import another map....
How can i do that.....!!!! Anyone has know can you teach me how?

You can have multiple maps open in one instance of the editor. Switch between them using the "Window" dropdown, and copy/paste. Cake!
Add previous map as a map dependency, you can find it in the main menu
by doing this I lose alot info a bit like the duplicate object, actors ect disappear, so it be just as easy as to start again
and I can't seem to add a custom map as a dependency, when I go to dependencies, add standard and add other dont have my map anywhere.
I am bumping this cuz I would like to know also. Perhaps you add "other" instead of "standard"
