An export radio is perfectly legal to use on the ham bands.


You cannot operate a ham radio on the CB band regardless of a ham license or not. It also does not matter what the power output is a ham radio is still NOT legal to operate on the CB band. The CB band requires equipment to meet certain certifications for that band. Ham radios do not meet that certification for a variety of reasons including frequency of operation and power output as well as a few other things.
