Import Tips

Verify ITAR/EAR export control compliance as infrared binoculars often require licenses for military or dual-use applications

Include detailed optical specifications and infrared wavelength compatibility in commercial invoices to avoid misclassification

Ensure packaging protects delicate prisms; common pitfall is damage during transit leading to rejected claims
