Based on your comment,

Getting error like, The Image ID provided (ami-118e9) has encrypted EBS block devices and is not exportable.

Sounds like you need to launch a new VM based on the existing AMI snapshot. Ensure that when configuring the launch, the EBS should be without encryption. Then the new VM should allow you to take unencrypted snapshots and export.
