I have Azure App Service Certificates created in a subscription. We are migrating all our applications including app services to a different subscription(which is not connected to the same Azure AD). I need to export the SSL cert and import to the new subscription as App Service Certificate. We need this as we have paid for the cert for 2 years so don't want to miss out on that. I have seen articles on how to export as .PFX file but how do you create a new Azure App Service Certificate in the new subscription using the .pfx file ?

You do not need to export the SSL .pfx file. You can move your App Service Certificate to a new subscription. You could do this on the Azure portal. If your App Service Certificate is bound to a web app, you must take some steps before moving the resources to a new subscription. Read this similar scenario.
Delete the SSL binding and private certificate from the web app before moving the resources. The App Service Certificate doesn't need to be deleted, just the private certificate in the web app.
When moving resources to a new subscription, the following restrictions apply:
All classic resources in the subscription must be moved in the same operation. The target subscription must not have any other classic resources. The move can only be requested through a separate REST API for classic moves. The standard Resource Manager move commands don't work when moving classic resources to a new subscription.
