'transported nothing from a pacific island' is the definition.
'borne' can be an answer for 'transported' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'nothing from a pacific island' bit.

'transported nothing from a' is the wordplay.
'transported' becomes 'bor' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'nothing' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'from' suggests deleting specific letters.
'a' becomes 'one'.
'one' with 'o' taken out is 'ne'.
'bor'+'ne'='BORNE'
