I think you are restoring into a DB with non-empty tables.

Your target DB/tables needs either...

a. to be initially empty
b. to be populated with non-conflicting data
c. dump and/or restore invoked using 'clean' options

Or even possibly you are restoring a data-only dump from a
non-constrained origin system into one with unique constraints.
