Thanks for the reply. This issue is a potential problem for us to offer our medical imaging products made in Japan, which is commingled with the freeBSD, to the embargo countries like Iran, Syria, Sudan, etc. Do we need to get re-export license for our product from BIS or OFAC before shipment from Japan to those countris due to the commingled freeBSD ?
