AGM NVG-40 Dual Tube Night Vision Goggle from Germany
The AGM NVG-40 is a dual-tube night vision goggle that uses Gen 2+ photocathodes to convert ambient light into electrons, which are then amplified to produce a visible image. It is designed for hands-free, stereoscopic viewing in low-light conditions and does not rely on thermal imaging. This product qualifies under tariff item 8525.83.00 because it uses a photocathode to amplify available light, as specified in Subheading Note 3.
