There are very few export restrictions now; they're actually more liberal than import restrictions in some countries now. Sun ships Solaris with 128 bit symmetrical encryption out of the box; longer keys such as 448 bit blowfish and 256 bit AES can be downloaded by nearly everyone. The main reason for the non-integration of the extended crypto at the time Solaris 10 first shipped were import restrictions into Russia, France and Israel, IIRC.
