Export restrictions on programming equipment
Not an exact duolicate, but see my answer here which relates to ITAR.

Modified extract from the above:

ITAR is the area that probably does or doesn't relate here.
 ITAR stands for "International Traffic in Arms Regulations"

As well as items which are "obviously" munitions, various items in the US are classified as munitions. This includes eg SOME components that MAY PERHAPS be able to be included in a weapons system, strong encryption systems (such as PGP), and various other wholly inobvious and apparently innocuous. You can probably end up using up all 3 of your strikes exporting a toilet seat with   hinges and lid if they happen to be ITAR classified.
 "Off the cuff" I'd say you were "reasonably likely" not to have ITAR issues here, but read on ...

I'd suggest that asking an exporter about specific parts or families of parts would be wise. Some exporters (such as Digikey) ask quite searching ITAR type questions about every export order and others (such as Mouser) do it on a case by case basis as required.

ITAR links below BUT I understand that it is a potential minefield (no pun intended) and having an expert aka a seasoned exporter of the goods of interest tell you what applies in the real world "may help".



You can choose to do it "the hard way" - ITAR regulations here

ITAR

If you build a good enough guidance system (will it allow an other wise inept pipe rocket to accurately travel from G_z_ to J__us__e_ ?), extremely good shielding system (can it help find Red Octobers),overload protection system (EMP killer), suitably precise measuring system (insert black technology task here) , advanced low loss extra high speed bearing  system (such as MAY be useful in a 100,000 RPM gas diffusion centrifuge) then it MAY be ITAR classified.
 And, so may any component used therein if it seems a good idea to somebody somewhere. So much so that I am told by people who really should know (one builds small satellites in England, the others build rockets in the US) that eg European satellite makers make  every possible effort that no US sourced components of any sort are used in their [products. 

Many hours of  interesting reading available via the links above.
 The annotated version helps heaps.
 Early on it notes:


The commercial export of conventional arms is governed principally by the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), which authorizes the 
President to control the export of arms, ammunition, implements of war and related technical data. The President has delegated that 
authority to the Secretary of State, and the Secretary has promulgated the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), under which a 
license or other approval is required for exports of defense articles, related technical data and defense services.  Pursuant to the AECA 
and the ITAR it is unlawful for persons (including U.S. companies and governmental entities) to export or temporarily import any defense 
articles or related technical data or to furnish any defense services without first obtaining the required license or other approval from the 
State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, unless an exemption to the ITAR applies.
