Anti-Reflective Coated Glass Lenses from Canada
High-index glass spectacle lenses featuring a multi-layer anti-reflective coating to minimize glare and improve light transmission for better night vision and aesthetics. These unmounted lenses are optically worked from borosilicate glass and intended exclusively for eyeglass frames. HTS 9001.40.00.00 covers all glass spectacle lenses regardless of optical coatings, distinguishing them from unworked glass.

Import Tips
• Include detailed coating specifications and durability test reports to demonstrate they remain spectacle lenses, not optical filters
• Ensure proper marking of prescription range (-12 to +8 diopters typical) and ensure single-unit entry if mass-produced for orthopedic correction
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; declare full value including coating process costs to prevent anti-dumping scrutiny
