What to prepare before submitting an app to AppStore with encryption?

Question

I am going to submit an app with encryption to AppStore. The app CCCrypt and stores text files in the iPhone, using <CommonCrypto/CommonCryptor.h> by Apple.

I will mostly likely select "Yes" when Apple asks if my app contains encryption.

Is there anything I should prepare besides the above declaration?

p.s. I am not a US citizen or resident.

Just for the record: If you lived in the US and you used other than Apple's embedded encryption you'd (in theory) need to clear it with the government. — Hot Licks, Jun 19 '13 at 16:33

I recently submitted an application that uses CommonCrypto as well. I only selected "YES". There was no followup from Apple on the topic. It was accepted to the AppStore.

Ok. Do you have any idea about 3DES.. do we have to submit t=anything on that? – Ahmed Z. Sep 06 '13 at 04:35

I don't know anything for certain, but I don't know why it would be any different. I think it would be OK. – Dennis Sep 06 '13 at 13:31
