I have been struggling to find a way OOTB to export content types and site columns from one SharePoint Online subscription to another.
I would like to do it without 3rd party solutions, is there anyone who knows of a way to do it?
Best regards,

I had a similar requirement recently, though my goal was not to import CTs and columns directly into another tenant (or site collection), but rather add them to a Visual Studio project.
I used Bram de Jager’s lovely SharePoint Client Browser for this. Navigated to the column / Content Type, had a look at the SchemaXML, copied it over to VS, and made the corresponding smaller changes (FieldRefs, e.g.). It was a bit of work, but helped immensely.
I’d have to check again which one (or ones) it was, but there are also third party tools to help with that.
Having said all that, there’s no possibility to easily do this OOTB.
