Polymer Optical Fiber Bundle
A flexible bundle of polymer optical fibers used for short-distance illumination in machine vision and consumer displays. Classified under HTS 9001.10.0085 as 'other' optical fiber bundles, made from plastic materials rather than glass, unmounted and suitable for light transmission. Ideal for automotive lighting and sensor applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If incoherent loose polymer fibers without optical coherence
Non-optical polymer plates/sheets/fibers fall under Chapter 39 plastics, lacking light-guiding properties.
If assembled with fiber optic connectors for electrical equipment
Connectorized bundles become apparatus parts under electrical chapter when integrated.
If specifically single optical fibers of polymer material
Distinguishes individual polymer fibers from bundled configurations in the tariff.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include material composition certificates proving polymer construction to distinguish from glass fibers
• Document attenuation specs and acceptance angle to confirm optical element status, not mere plastic articles
