Fused Silica Lens Blank for UV Optics
A precision-machined fused silica blank used for fabricating lenses in ultraviolet optical systems, such as lithography machines. It falls under HTS 7014.00.10.00 as a lens blank that is not optically worked and excludes spectacle lenses, per chapter notes including fused silica as glass.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If optically worked after import
Optically worked optical elements like finished lenses shift to Chapter 90 for instruments and apparatus.
If supplied as float glass sheets before cutting to lens shape
Uncut float glass sheets for lens production remain in heading 7005 as non-worked glass in sheets.
If imported as part of a glass globe or signaling element
Lens blanks integral to signaling glassware like traffic lights classify under 7016 for safety applications.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the blank is not optically worked (e.g
• no polishing or coating) to avoid reclassification under 7015
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming it's a lens blank for non-spectacle use, like industrial optics
