Import Tips
• Specify segment type (e.g
• D-28, D-35) and add power on invoice to prevent misclassification as progressive lenses
• Maintain segment line integrity during transit; use polarized shipping trays to avoid customs rejection
• For bulk imports, provide statistical sampling showing consistent glass composition across lots
