And also.. You can export to 10 bit tiff by selecting 16bit tiff.. We
couldn't find another way to export non avid 10 bit files. assuming you have
a 10 bit sequence.

Sorry, Andi -- I missed seeing your message somehow.
If you load 10-bit footage into After Effects, the footage info display
will show it has having 'Trillions of Colors' (vs. 'Millions of colors'
for 8-bit.)
If you import your 10-bit third-party codec QT movie to a 10-bit Avid
resolution, it truncates/rounds the data down to 8-bits of info, even
though it's using a 10-bit format. There's no good way that I'm aware
of to check inside Avid that your 10-bits have been preserved.
You would think that rendering out of After Effects to 10-bit Avid
codecs would do the trick, but last time I tested this (a few months
back), this also truncated down to 8-bits within the 10-bit format.
What does work for sure is to render to a 16-bit TIFF sequence, which
can be imported to a 10-bit Avid codec, retaining all 10 bits of info.
Cheers,

not, correct? Are there any better ways to check if a file is 10bit or not?,
inside Avid perhaps? That's really annoying if Avid is truncating,
especially seeing as i went to so much expense to get that file! :-) So I
guess I should be telling them to render out using the Avid codecs then?
It's been said before, but that sucks!
