If you want legal advice -- the kind of advice that will (usually) be accurate and safe enough to keep you out of jail -- you need to retain a qualified lawyer to answer these questions. Some members of the -legal mailing list may have done similar things, but what worked for them may not be good enough for your application or for your personal situation. In today's law-enforcement climate, I (personally) would be wary of taking anyone else's word on crypto export controls. You might be able to find and read the export restrictions on your own, but retaining a lawyer is the safe bet since the lawyer would know either how the law in the field is applied or the limits of their own knowledge.
