It has always been possible to legally export ITAR controlled technology. You just have to follow the correct procedures and get the correct permissions. A PITA to be sure, but I doubt launching from Mexico would pose any serious problems. Besides, it is not like they would be selling rockets to random people in Mexico, it would remain under the control of the U.S. owner until it was launched.


Hell, we've let China launch ITAR controlled tech.
