Import Tips
• Supply transmission curve data proving IR/UV optical properties to avoid Chapter 69 ceramic classification
• Document scratch-dig specifications (e.g
• 40-20) confirming optical workmanship standards
• For AR-coated versions, verify if coating changes classification to mounted assemblies
