Actually for the S400 they are obliged to cripple it. They are definitely not allowed to sell some of the missiles for this system.

As you say, some missiles may be prohibited, however the S400 system is already being exported, I must assume with shorter range missiles (maybe followed in the post by a guide on "how to hack your S400 missile for better range"). I would imagine that THAADS is in a similar position, of claimed MTCA compliance.
