You betcha!!

A fellow worker took his Mac 2 CX, PHD, SSC, whatever (the 68020
version) on holiday with him to Italy last year. Had to sign all
sorts of declarations to make sure he brought it back. The fact that
I could take my trusty old CP/M machine to Italy with a 68020 chip
stuck inside it with gaffers tape is probably totally irrelevant.
Customs / Immigration / Export / whoever are trying to do something,
and are mostly succeeding. But it's still fairly easy to slide a fast
one past them. Assuming you're prepared to take the risk.
