Near-Infrared Reflecting Telescope from Japan
A Newtonian reflecting telescope with IR-optimized parabolic mirrors and low-OH glass for near-infrared astrophysics research. HTS 9005.80.40.20 applies due to its specific design for infrared light in astronomical applications, distinct from general reflectors.

Import Tips
• Provide wavelength response curves (e.g
• 0.8-2.5μm) in entry docs to substantiate infrared classification
• Check for dual-use export controls under EAR for high-resolution optics potentially applicable to military tech
• Bundle with custom mountings carefully—sets for retail may classify differently than bulk components
