Move list from one site to another sharepoint 2010

This is the most common requirement in SharePoint in which we have to move any list/library:
§  From one site collection to another
§  From top level site to subsite
§  From one web application to another
I will try to best to explain all the steps in detailed manner/user friendly/correct keywords/exact explanation.
Here are the details:
Before we start, let’s note down some quotes as an example that I will use in the following steps: Source site: Site A, Destination site: Site B
§  Open the SharePoint site A on which the list is present
§  Click on the list that you wants to move
§  Settings
§  List settings
§  Permissions and Management
§  Save Document Library as Template/Save List as Template
§  It will provide you the window on which you need to type the template name
§  If you wants a data then please select the appropriate check box
§  Click OK
§  It will give you the successful message, on the same page, you can see the gallery option where it’s actually saved the template
§  Once you reach the galleries, click on the template that we have just saved
§  It will give you a option to save the template to your desktop
§  Open the Destination SharePoint site i.e. Site B
§  Site actions
§  Site settings
§  Galleries
§  List Templates
§  Upload
§  Browse the template that we have saved in the above mentioned steps
§  Select it and upload (80% done J)
§  Now click on Create option (http://site_name/_layouts/create.aspx )
§  You can see the list now under create option
§  Click on it, provide an appropriate name as per your requirements and
§  Click OK (100% completed)
