Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If complete laser optical assemblies
Finished laser lenses/mirrors classify under Chapter 90 lasers and parts.
If coated with diamond-like carbon
Abrasive-coated beryllium optics shift to Chapter 68 worked stones/articles.

Import Tips & Compliance
• File EEI with BIS for export-controlled optics components
• Specify wavefront error specs to justify article status vs. simple blanks
• Use anti-static ESD packaging for cleanroom delivery
