All your addresses and private keys in MultiBit HD are produced from the wallet words that you are given when you create a wallet. (This is why it is so important to write your wallet words down).

Because everything is generated from one thing the randomly generated private keys in MultiBit Classic cannot be imported into MultiBit HD.

The safest way to transfer your bitcoin is to spend them.
