An explanation of why Debian doesn't have the non-us archive any more is here:

Presumably, you would need to do the same kind of notifications too,
you should get legal advice from a US lawyer on that though.
Alternatively, ship the bare servers, a d-i preseed config (or FAI
config), and relevant setup scripts and have the EU offices install
Debian from a local mirror. This option would probably be far less
hassle than dealing with legal stuff.

IIRC, the restrictions are on export, not use.
