I imported a custom character using the Avatar Importer, although all the parts rotate when imported.
Character in blender:
Imported:
The parts didn’t use to rotate before, did they change anything with importing?

This article goes over all the good practices of exporting & importing your own custom characters.
Based on your description, the rotation values inside Blender might be skewed, start with resetting those.
If you don’t know how:
-
Select all of the objects (default key A).
-
Press Ctrl + A to open the “Apply” tab.
-
From the drop-down menu, select “Rotation”.
-
Export accordingly.
Try that first, good luck.

This could be any number of errors.
- apply all rotation and scale (and pray you don’t have negative scale)
- set your origins to the same spot (0,0,0) where you want the root part to be.
- try loading as both a custom animation and an r15 animation, the latter is better at following directions.
- make sure you don’t name bones and mesh the same without understanding how Roblox responds to that.
- make sure any skinning is to the correct side. left wing skinned to the right side is a hot mess.
- you can use mirrors with armatures, but there are special rules and naming conventions in blender
