Be clearer.
Are you working for a US certificated air carrier, or not?
If not, then a statement in your manual advising that you'll comply with US regulation does NOT make you a US carrier.
If you are flying for an operation that holds a Part 121 operating certificate under the United States Code of Federal Regulations, then you're flying for a US carrier.
Which is it?
Simply stating that your operations will be conducted in accordance with XXX doesn't make you or your certificate holder a US carrier. Where is your company operating certificate issued, and under what authority?
There are other countries in the world that mirror US regulations, nearly to the letter, in establishing their own. Saudi Arabia is one.
