John, welcome to the forum.
To help us help you could you please take a moment to fill in your signature in the "userCP' that is found at the top left of the page - thanks.
Now to your query. LR uses ratios for cropping and not sizes. You don't state which cms or inches, however in the export menu you need to set the size (physical) that you want i.e. either inches or cm plus pixels per in or cm. This combination will give a physical size.
If you are opening the export in PS you can check your physical size by looking at "image size" which will tell you the dimensions of your image.
Hope this assists.
