Progressive Addition Lens Blanks from Germany
Progressive addition lens blanks are blanks with seamless gradient zones for continuous vision correction, pre-formed but unground for spectacles. They are curved and hollowed but not optically worked, as they require surfacing to a prescription. These blanks fall under tariff item 7015.10.00 as glasses for corrective spectacles, despite their complex molding.
