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
