You are on the right path, but you have to open the option panel of File>Export>ActiveAs tool.

In the option panel you can select the format you want to use for saving. Have a look at my screenshot.

Hope this helps.

There are no untrimmed/trimmed surfaces in OBJ files, which is a triangle mesh format. You also did not say that you needed to export the file to Rhino. If that is the goal, then use the STP format.
