Import Tips
• Provide dispersion curve data and Abbe number specifications to confirm classification as optical prism rather than common glass
• Label with material type (BK7, F2 flint glass) and coating specifications if applicable
• Include test reports verifying surface flatness and optical performance to prevent reclassification
