Not necessarily - an Export C of A can be issued for a non-registered aircraft. The basis of an Export C of A is compliance with Type Certificate data and acceptability by the NAA for the destination of the aircraft for transfer along with any deviations. You can even get an Export C of A for a damaged or incomplete aircraft. An Export C of A has nothing to do with the aircraft being serviceable or operational, for that you need a Standard C of A which is completely different and issued by the NAA in the State of Registry.
