You can find a guide below for exporting your Bitcoin.com private keys:
https://www.bitcoin.com/guides/how-to-i ... ivate-keys

To import try select the + sign next to the "wallets" header and then select "import wallet" this will take you to a screen that you can import a wallet by seed into the Bitcoin.com wallet.

Thanks for your answer. However, I do not have a backup code whatsoever. I only have a raw private key from another wallet.

You could use https://www.bitaddress.org/ to generate a QR code with your private key.

Click on Wallet details (at bitaddress.org)

After you have the QR code you may then scan it into your Bitcoin.com wallet.

What wallet is your private key from?

And if not from a wallet how was is generated?

Does it really matter? Could be anyone.
Do you remember that statement about bitcoin addresses?
There is a public key and a private key.
I have the private key.

Yes, it could matter.

If you have bip-38 encrypted private key and you don't have the passphrase then your private key may be worthless.
