Whether or not something you ship that bundles JCE can be exported is
entirely up to the NSA and how satisfied they are that the product
cannot easily be converted to use strong crypto. We cannot offer you
any guidelines here - it all depends on your particular type of
bundling.

If your bundling is loose, i.e., you simply ship JCE and your software
in the same package, it is unlikely that your software is exportable.

We will be working towards providing an exportable version of JCE.
Unfortunately, at this point of time I cannot give you a specific
date when this will be done.
