I was unable to create pool with the name of the one imported

do you mean
1. on the mem stick A to export the pool ( the one to be clonned)
2. to create pool with the same name on the mem stick B
3. clone fs from pool on A to the pool on B

is it possible on exported pools?

and this requires to remember the name of the new zfs-splitted pool, am
I correct?
