That might actually be a tricky question, even if comparable computers are for sale in the destination country.

I've recently had to learn a little about USA export regulations. You'd have to talk to some customs person to get a solid answer regarding your particular harware to that particular country. The law is complex, and you'd really have to find someone that knows it enough to give you a definitive answer, and don't trust anyone here unless they work in USA customs or whatever other government agencies deal with that stuff.

Did you know that an employee in a USA office of an international company can NOT transfer the silicon/schematic design for an FPGA larger than 40000 gates capacity to an office of the same company but in a different country, unless there is an export exception license for that particular item? Yup.
