Controls on munitions are authorized by the <A HREF="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/export/aeca.in.full">; Arms Export Control Act (22 USC Sec 2778)</A>, and the details are set in the <A HREF="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/export/itar.in.full">International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR)</A>. A quick glance through ITAR shows you're likely wrong. It's only the export or "temporary import" that are controlled, where "temporary import means bringing into the U.S. from a foreign country any defense article that is to be returned to the country from which it was shipped or taken, or any defense article that is in transit to another foreign destination." Section 120.18 specifically states that, "Permanent imports are regulated by the Department of the Treasury (see 27 CFR parts 47, 178 and 179)." In eight or nine months of following this ridiculous law, I've never heard of any problems *importing* crypto, only *exporting*.
