Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 900390 when importing or exporting frames and mountings specifically designed for spectacles or goggles. For example, if you're shipping plastic frames for prescription glasses, this code applies directly.
This code distinguishes itself from HS-6 900391, which covers metal frames. If your shipment includes a mix of materials, be careful to classify each item according to its specific material composition.
The HS-6 900390 line encompasses parts and accessories for spectacles and goggles, including plastic or composite frames, as well as components like nose pads and temple arms. These items are essential for the assembly and functionality of eyewear.
When dealing with frames for protective goggles used in industrial settings, you would still use this code, provided they are designed to hold lenses. Ensure you have the correct specifications to avoid customs delays.
