Import Tips
• Obtain BIS or DDTC authorization; these often fall under USML Category 12 for night vision optics
• Label with exact prism material (e.g
• BaK-4 glass) and IR sensitivity range to confirm HTS classification
• Avoid common pitfalls by declaring true end-use; civilian claims on military specs can trigger audits
