Since it essentially says that if you export it from the USA you will
have to follow whatever laws and regulations covers such exports, it
doesn't really add any burden since anybody doing such an export would
be legally required to do so anyway.

AFAICT the paragraph in question does not add any restrictions or
burdens, it just points out potentially existing ones.
