I am new to AWS. I am trying to import an OVA to a AMI and use it for an EC2 instance as described

Is there an easy way to determine which policies are needed to run an AWS Cli command?

There is not an easy way. The CLI commands usually (but not always) map to a single IAM action that you need permission to perform. In your case, it appears you need the ec2:DescribeImportImageTasks permission, as listed here.
