Which kind of export are you talking about? A MapReduce or a distcp?
In any case, it is very probable that your import will miss some
writes unless you block them.
In 0.21 this will be a lot easier using multi datacenter replication
along with the ability to replay logs from one cluster to another
starting from a certain point in time.

Hi,
Suppose during export there is ongoing write operation to HBase table I am
exporting, which snapshot does export use ?
Is there special action I should take ?
Thanks
