Yes, but once it is in Canada it is still bound by very similar rules to
the original US export restrictions even though other stuff (ie. not
imported from the US) wouldn't be subject to such restrictions.

Now, the legal basis for this and the exact nature and extent of legal
action for such violations in Canada is a more complex issue.
