Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 900319 when importing or exporting frames and mountings for spectacles or goggles made from materials other than plastics, such as metal or wood. For instance, a shipment of metal eyeglass frames would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers frames and mountings that do not use plastic materials. In contrast, HS-6 900311 applies to plastic frames, so it's essential to determine the material of your product accurately.

If you're dealing with a shipment of non-plastic goggles or eyewear frames, this HS-6 classification is crucial for correct customs documentation. It helps ensure compliance with import regulations and proper tariff application.

When classifying your goods, consider the construction material and intended use. For example, metal frames for safety goggles or decorative wooden frames for reading glasses would both be classified under this code.
