Unmounted Aspheric Polymer Lens from China
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.

Import Tips
• Include refractive index and Abbe number data in documentation to prove optical function
• Declare exact polymer composition; generic plastics may fall under Chapter 39
• Test for contamination-free packaging to prevent surface defects during import
