You need to make sure that your file size options are set to suitable values in the correct file. On my system there are 3 files called php.ini inside /etc/php/7.0 (Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon) but only one of them is being used.

The instructions here tell you how to find which file to edit:

Create a file var/www/html/phpinfo.php. Paste this code into it and save it:

Then in a browser navigate to http://localhost/phpinfo.php

This displays your php configuration, look for the option "Loaded Configuration File", it should be near the top of the page. This will give you the location of your php.ini file, on my system it's /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini

Now open that file (don't forget to open it as root so you can save changes) and increase the allowed file size to a value larger than your sql file, for example:

upload_max_filesize = 20M

If that doesn't do the trick, you can try increasing the values for these settings also:

max_execution_time
max_input_time
memory_limit
post_max_size
