There is a clause in the U.S. export regs that says that rocket launches don't count as export. This basically covers communications satellites which use a lot of otherwise restricted aerospace technology.
Some folks in the bay area actually thought of making a road trip down to San Diego with a bunch of DAT tapes and some of the larger Estes offerings, but they asked a lawyer first.
It's export when it touches down. Thge exepmption is for things going up and staying there.
It probably *is* legal if you launch it into orbit, sell it there, and the buyer deorbits it. But that's an infeasibly high cost barrier for the moment. -- -Colin
