Hi
I currently use PhysX to create and manage physics object. The problem is that there's no official exporter to export physics data from Maya. So how do you import physics data from Maya to your engine?

You can write an exporter yourself, you need to find documentation on the maya fileformat and how PhysX related data is stored. But I think the fileformat is not open to the public. So you're stuck with either writing an exporter or handcopying the data.

Quick googling around seems to indicate that the Physx DCC Plugin should be able to export physics data for you. Is that not the case?
