How do I get audacity to use the time shift when exporting

I don't think you can do that with a manual tool like Time Shift, but some of the filters and effects can do that by accident. Same problem.

Audacity won't export audio before time zero with straight Export or Export Selection. But video sync is another case where you may actually want to export audio behind zero. I've had the problem Koz mentioned myself when editing audio for a video. I couldn't export before zero so I timeshifted to start from zero, exported, then adjusted the audio timeshift in the video editor.

I don't know if there would be a case for some kind of export marker that you could move where you want including behind zero. The export would start from that marker time, and if the marker was in white space before the start of the audio then the space would be rendered as silence.

Takin' bets how many other things break when Time Zero becomes a variable instead of fixed.
Where does the "Home" key go?

I'll win that bet because export behind zero works with Export Multiple by tracks - try it

The Home key or J only goes to time zero, so a change would be needed if some "marker" was to go behind zero.
