If a variation product that is moved from source to destination does not exist, it will create a new product. However, if it already exists, the existing product on the destination will be deleted and a new product created. This behavior only applies to Variation items and not normal standard products.
If you get an error showing that a Variation Child SKU already exists, you will have to re-try moving the Parent product in a few seconds. This error is temporary because the product delete request has not yet been processed whilst the new product creates the request is trying to create the variation child. By the time you re-try, the deletion process will have already been completed; hence your request will succeed.
