While there has been some relaxation in the export requirements, there are many restrictions that are still in place for strong (128 bit)encryption products. See http://www.epic.org/crypto/export_controls/regs_1_00.html for the complete 33 page report. Note also that a vendor’s product status is dependent on the type of application they have with the government. Contrary to some articles in the press, export of encryption items is still a complicated, multi-dimensional issue.
