Import Tips
• Certify Trivex material via manufacturer's specs; hybrid polymers risk scrutiny under plastics headings
• Include impact test reports (ASTM F803) for prescription safety lens validation
• Declare diopter power and base curve on entry docs to distinguish from non-prescription plano lenses
