  SharePoint Designer 2013 provides the capability to save the workflow as a template, it saves to the Site Assets.

  Then you can export is as .wsp, which can be imported to any other site-collection. Interestingly SharePoint designer 2013, provides the capability to export all the three types of workflows Site Workflows, List Workflows and Re-usable workflows.

  Hi - I tested this procedure with a List workflow until the feature is activated in the destination site collection. Then I created manually a new list (similar to the one's existing in the development environment) but there is no way to associate the workflow (visible in SPD) to this new list. The button "Associate to List" is grayed on. Any suggestion ?

  The list needs to exist before you deploy the workflow. It needs to have the same name, then the workflow will automatically connect to the list.
