Using 128bit key Blowfish and any export issues

Question

Hi,
I want to use blowfish (symmetric key algorithm) in my product and which will be shipped outside US. Reading Sun's documentation I am bit confused and I am not sure if the jce package is going to be available outside the US.
Has anyone used the default available symmetric key algorithms in the JCE package (javax.crypto.*) and faced any export control issues ?
Please let me know.
Thanks

Here is a sample code
String ks = "123456789123456";
kb = ks.getBytes();
SecretKeySpec key = new SecretKeySpec(kb,"blowfish");
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("blowfish");
// Initialisation of cipher object for Encryption.
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);

1. the issue is rather an import issue for some countries, than an export issue for US as far as you use jre>=1.4 .
you can read the
'Downloading the "Unlimited Strength" Jurisdiction Policy Files'
section of
http://java.sun.com/products/jce/javase.html
2. The restricted (defualt) shipped version already covers Blowfish if you mind that.
3. I use Blowfish with restricted (default) version of JCE in applications deployed in europe and have not heard of customer complaining sofar: they are supposed to use webstart or jre1.5.
