Can I recover a zpool after it's been exported, given that devices have not been reallocated?

I had a zpool we'll call 'testpool'.
testpool had 3 devices included in it, and a single zfs called 'test'.
I needed to move 'test' to a new, smaller pool. I wanted to name the new pool the same name 'testpool'.
Basically did the following.
zfs send testpool@backup > /tmp/test-dump
zpool export -f testpool
zpool create -f testpool newdevice…
