Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify the glass has not undergone optical working (e.g

β€’ grinding or polishing) to confirm classification under 7015.90

β€’ Provide manufacturer specs confirming curvature or hollowing for spectacle use, avoiding misclassification as finished lenses

β€’ Check for any coatings; absorbent or reflecting layers per chapter notes do not change heading if pre-annealing
