Are you exporting as stl? If so, stl does not track units, and your slicer probably thinks it’s in mm. You can scale the parts in the slicer by 25.4. That converts in to mm.
Another option is to export as step. Step format does keep track of units. Not all slicers accept step, however. I’d try this first and if it works, always use step going forward.
