I don't see a need for the zpool export and import unless you have a 
way to convert your USB drive into an drive which works directly in 
your chassis.  Once you have replaced the disk, you could do something 
like

   zpool replace mypool usbdisk replaceddisk

and wait another long while for the resilvering.
