Only "half" valid

I had to import my key to a new machine. But now I can see that it is only "half" valid. Only showing me 2 yellow bars. It used to be all green. What have I done wrong? I've transferred my keys before without any problem. And I did remember to click the private key checkbox on export.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

    if you click details on your key, what is set as ownertrust?

    Afaik ownertrust Information is not exported. So it might be necessary to change that value manuelly.
