How to import a value to clear field's value

I need to clear a fields value. Sine there are 100's of items, the import option makes sense. I am trying to import items to update with a blank value. (Specifically the description). But whatever I try to clear the field value doesn't work. (I know this is by design, but now I need the opposite.)

The following do not update the feild:

  1. ""
  2. 0
  3. NULL
The following updates the field with itself.
  1. ${PLACEHOLDER.EMPTY}
Any ideas?
