There is information about platform. And in different configurations it can be in different places.
So, for example, platform implements built-in tool for export tabular section to file.
In help you can find article "How do I Print a Table or Save It to a File?"

Quote

Do the following:
Open the table;

In the managed run mode use the All actions – Output list... command;
In the form that opens, select one of the following in the Output to field:

Spreadsheet document if you want to preserve the table boundaries;

Text document if the boundaries are not essential;
Set checkboxes to all the columns you need;
Click OK. As a result, a spreadsheet or a text document will be opened.
Then, in the File menu select one of the following:

Print – to print the table;

Save As... – to save the table to a file (.mxl, .htm, .html, .xls, .txt).

If the advanced files operations extension is installed, a standard operating system dialog for saving a file is used for this purpose. If the extension is not installed, an 1C:Enterprise form will be displayed for saving.

You can try it at online demo

A typical situation I'm facing is how to import master data and beginning balances from user's legacy software so user don't have to entry them manually on 1C. That's why I'm interested with "BUILT-IN IMPORT/EXPORT TOOL" feature (especially IMPORT) Are there any ready-to-use tool for that need?

Guest Points:: Joined::	There are tools and mechanisms for import and export, but it seems like you want to have a comprehensive tool which will do exchange with any other softwere. In this case answer is no, there is no comprehensive import/export tool. But you can configure the existing tools or develop a new one to provide import and export for specific software. There are lots of examples and ready to use solutions for import and export to/from 1C.
