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 ?
