Hi everyone,

Quick question: If I import my private keys from a wallet that does not support segwit into a segwit supported wallet, will I pay lower fees when transacting from the new segwit-supported wallet?

Your SegWit-supporting wallet can make a SegWit transaction afterwards, and the fee for that is going to be lower.

The fee doesn't depend on the wallet, the fee depends on the address. You'll have to actually move the funds to a SegWit-address before you can use lower fees.
