Which version of FreeBSD?
2017-06-17 20:55:17 dpchrist@freebsd ~
$ freebsd-version
11.0-RELEASE-p10
2017-06-17 20:55:19 dpchrist@freebsd ~
$ uname -a
FreeBSD freebsd 11.0-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p9 #0: Tue Apr 11

My man 8 zpool shows three forms for import:
zpool import [-d dir | -c cachefile] [-D]
zpool import [-o mntopts] [-o property=value] ... [-d dir | -c
cachefile]
[-D] [-f] [-m] [-N] [-R root] [-F [-n]] -a
zpool import [-o mntopts] [-o property=value] ... [-d dir | -c
cachefile]
[-D] [-f] [-m] [-N] [-R root] [-F [-n]] pool | id [newpool]
Only the latter two offer -N.
It might help if you showed your console session -- exact command, exact
output.
