I'm not a lawyer but I think that officially it's illegal to export. We'll have international kernels soon that include various enctyption modules.
Then again, according to the Wassenaar agreement which the US also signed, they agreed to some odd clause saying 'if the encryption is in the public domain then export is legal'.
