I believe it should say SHOULD (definitly not MUST) and perhaps to be precise
refer to the newly ratified Wassenaar agreement,  eg : "except where
prohibited under the Wassenaar Agreement" which will cover export and import
into and from various countries.

Adding this wouldn't make much sense, Wassenaar isn't a treaty or agreement but
an arrangement, and has no binding force on anyone, so Wassenaar itself doesn't
prohibit anything.  As the Wassenaar articles say, implementation is purely a
matter of national legislation and policy.
