    Thank you for reaching out. I can certainly help clarify the ECCN forward the Microsoft visual C++ redistribute product and runtime DLLs you have listed .

    ECCN for visual C++ redistributable and runtime DLLs

    it's important to note that ECCNs are dynamic and can change. However based on current classification here are the general ECCNs for the products you have listed:

    1.      visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2010 SP1

    ·         ECCN: 5D002 ( Software, that by itself or in combination with any other software is designed or adapted for the development, production, or use of controlled goods or is controlled software)

    ·         this classification typically applies to software that has export control implications, which often includes development tools and runtime components.

    2.      Visual C redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 update 4

    ·         ECCN:5D002

    ·         This falls under the category of controlled software.

    3.      Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2015

    ·         ECCN : 5D002

    ·         this continues the pattern for software with export control consideration.

    4.      Microsoft Visual Studio redistributables 2015-2022

    ·         ECCN: 5D002

    ·         this broad category of redistributables covering a range of Visual Studio version, generally falls under the 5D002 ECCN due to their nature as software development and runtime components.

    5.      VC++ runtime DLLs2015

    ·         ECCN: 5D002

    ·         Runtime DLLs are integral components of software and are therefore subject to the same export control consideration as the larger application they support.

    Important considerations

    1.      “Controlled” goods and “controlled” software: The ECCNs are often tied to the definition of controlled goods or controlled software as defined by export regulations. These terms refer to items or technologies that are subject to specific export restrictions due to their potential use in sensitive applications or by certain entities .

    2.      Specific use cases: while the general ECCNs are provided above, A specific export license or additional documentation might be required depending on the end use, destination country, And the specific quantities involved

    3.      ECCN is not a license: it's crucial to remember that an ECCN is a classification number not a license. It helps determine which export control regulations apply and what licensing requirements might be in place

    I hope this detailed explanation helps clarify the ECCN for the visual C++ product.
