import and convert products

We want to importing some 30.000 products from an old hand coded commerce site database. I figured that the best way to do this would be to map the existing categories to the new setup in Commerce Server and import all the products as generic type products.

Do you have a guide to batch importing products into commerce server?

The problem is that for some products we want to add additional information and then i have to cast from a generic product to a more specific product definition. for example from "generic product" to "Refrigerator"

Is there some way to change a products base type after it have been set up on commerce server?

Best Regards
