You can try below syntax if it works for you otherwise provide csv data:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:/region_codes.csv' INTO TABLE `region_codes` FIELDS ESCAPED BY '\\' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n';

If above syntax does not work then export data by below command again and import by below given command.

select * into outfile 'C:/region_codes.csv' fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"' lines terminated by '\n' from `region_codes`;

Now use below command (to ignore column heading line)

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:/region_codes.csv' INTO TABLE `region_codes` FIELDS ESCAPED BY '\\' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' IGNORE 1 LINES;

Note: If data is prepared manually then need to correct it manually.

If still not work then attach your csv data to check exact problem.
