If we sell goods to USA, but deliver them to France to a third party company, who will add our product to a final product before exporting the combined product to the USA, is this an EC Sale or an Export? To clarify, it is the third party that arranges the shipment from France to USA.
I'd be glad of your help as I have checked out VAT notices etc. but I can't seem to find the answer.

It is a sale to the US company which will be subject to UK VAT unless they can provide you with a valid EU VAT number. If they can provide a Non UK but EU VAT number it will be reportable on an EC Sales List. If they can't it will be a UK sale
thank you shaun,
Can the EU VAT number be the VAT number of the third party?
Not unless they are taking title to the goods
