Keychain Access – Export Keychain Items Not Enabled from File Menu
keychain
As can be seen in the screenshot I have selected a bunch of keychain items. So why is Export items disabled?

You can only export one key at a time, or one key and a matching certificate.
It will be encrypted upon export and can only contain one key.
If you need to move an entire keychain to a different computer, look at ~/Library/Keychains - example login.keychain (in finder, cmd + shift + g, paste path, go)
It can be added to another machine and you can change the password of the keychain.
I know this might sound unrelated but after moving my keychain from one machine to another I've had to fix permissions with Disk Utility in order to regain access to my keychain.
And in my experience it seems to be a bad idea to move your keychain from one machine to another when your password differs between machines.
