Unmounted Aspheric Polymer Lens

An aspheric lens molded from optical-grade polymer (acrylic), used to minimize spherical aberration in cameras and projectors. Classified under HTS 9001.90.40.00 as an unmounted lens of plastic material, excluding unworked glass. Its non-spherical surface requires precise molding for optical performance.
