That is not the information that I have, unless they have changed the
rules substantially since I last looked into this subject.  So far as
I'm aware, only two countries prohibit the importation of crypto;
France is one and I don't remember the other.  There was a very heated
discussion in this regard at the last IETF on the question of whether
IP6 should include as a mandatory facility some sort of strong
encryption.
