Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the lens is part of an optical fiber cable
Optical fibers and cables are classified under this heading, not as mounted objective lenses.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the ball lens is mounted and not a loose optical element
• Provide the CBSA with the instrument type (fiber optic coupler) to support classification
