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
