Moving TFS Template between servers

Question

We have customized a TFS Template.

We would now like to move this template to a different TFS Server.

What is the best ways to do this?

Thanks

Shiraz

EDIT

We tried the process template as recommend below, but got the following error when trying to import:

Try using the Process Template Manager to download and upload templates.
