Who is complying with your Export C Of A? They should know or have access to all the requirements.
RVDT is correct, the conformity statement must come from the civil aviation authority like the DGAC. I do not know how the EASA figures into this. But who ever told you to see Airbus for the statement is not correct.
There are a few FAA guidance documents in the form of Advisory Circulars that can help you understand the US export/import process. Plus you can contact a FAA IFO for more info.
However, it is very important to get your paperwork complete and legal BEFORE you ship aircraft to the US. Once here if the paperwork is not correct will cause you grief beyond belief.
Good luck.

Hey Wrench, I am not trying to get around anything (wrong choice of words on my side, sorry), what I meant was, how has someone else managed with this ?
The CAA are the AA to carry out the Export, EASA is the governing body over DGAC and the CAA are acting on behalf of EASA. I have no problem with the FAA side of things, the brick wall is the CAA, wanting the statement from Airbus.
