So I have 8 accounts on the same Bnet and I just did some work with Chinchilla, Bartender and Shadow UF to customize my UI.

How can I import or copy/paste those settings or profiles across multiple accounts?

You can migrate most anything, even if it has per-char sections in your config LUA files, but it may be manual edits in a text editor. I've never had that fail, but it's occasionally been a real PITA (ex.: Pitbull Unit Frames migrations...yeesh).

I usually copy the \World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\********#1 folder, replacing the progressive number, then I use NotePad++ "Find in files" function to replace character names so I don't need to switch addon profiles :)

I just built a new PC and as part of that I decided to redo my entire setup. Last time was......messy and there are a few annoyances I never got sorted out. I found a free utility to find+replace that works pretty simply. I copied my settings from my primary account to my slave accounts in about 2 minutes. Just logged into all 5 and they are perfect.

I'll suggest it to Khat as well if it's suitable to add to his guide.
