After you import, you should be able to delete the directory from
which you imported and then check out.

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/
svn.tour.importing.html#svn.tour.importing.import

"Note that after the import is finished, the original tree is not
converted into a working copy. To start working, you still need to
svn checkout a fresh working copy of the tree" (into a different
directory).

Or, you could have done an in-place import.
