Export control classification

Hello,

We have a product that incorporates a BMI160 but we are in the process of swapping to a BMI270 so we need the answer for both of these parts. We may begin exporting our products from the UK so would like to ask about export compliance or export control of the BMI parts.

Does either the BMI160/270 fall within category 7 of the UK Strategic Export Control? The UK categories are based on the EU ones, so Bosch have probably been asked this already. For reference the UK list can be found on this page.

I tried searching on the community and only found a couple of answers, neither of which really answered the questions.

This one the user was told to contact the distributors, but for an export control decision the manufacturer is the one who would know best:

This question was referred to an existing Q&A but the link is broken and I cannot find it through the search or the knowledgebase:

Thank you.
