Even a CONSISTENT=Y is not likely to apply to Sequences. Good Practices when using Export-Import for upgrades/migrations to new servers have been to

  1. Export when there are NO transactions
  2. Generate a CREATE SEQUENCE script with values higher than the current highest and use such a script at the target
