The following states are from the Global Internet Liberty Coalition (GLIC) and [[Electronic Privacy Information Center]] (EPIC) reports on Cryptography and Liberty from 1998 and 2000. These used a Green/Yellow/Red system, plus "unknown" to indicate the level of restriction, with green meaning no restriction, yellow meaning a license is required to import, and red meaning a total ban. Where "unknown" is reported, readers are encouraged to seek further advice before importing any cryptography, and asked to update this page with their findings. Countries with mixed policies are coloured according to the more restrictive policy. For further details see the report for the appropriate year (indicated in the updated column and linked to from the Status).
Countries where there are no current restrictions on importing cryptographic tools are not listed for the sake of brevity. There may be restrictions on the ''use'' of cryptography in countries not listed here, but regulations were not reported in the reference material. Countries which were previously listed as Unknown, Red or Yellow, but have since changed to Green
This list is incomplete; notable omissions are [[Ethiopia]] and [[Eritrea]], both of which may have restrictions on the import and use of cryptography.
