Has any one been able to verify the anonymous posters assertion concerning japanese crypto export restrictions?

What counts as verification? I heard it straight from a crypto exporter in Japan, as the reason why the stuff they were sending me would be delayed, and by the way they needed more information for the export request. I might even be the original source of the news since I did mention it to a freind or two. (I am not the original anon poster). As to the details re: if/when/why the change was made, etc., I don't know. Is there a Japanese equivalent of the CFR wherein the government regs are published? Perhaps one of our bureau-savvy Japanese readers could check into it.
