Lenses, contact; unmounted, of any material, excluding elements of glass not optically worked

HS v2017 Code: 900130

About lenses, contact; unmounted, of any material, excluding elements of glass not optically worked

hs code 900130 covers the import and export of contact lenses that are unmounted and made of any material, excluding elements of glass that have not been optically worked. This code is crucial for the global optics and vision care industry, as contact lenses are a widely used vision correction solution. The trade of these products plays a significant role in meeting the growing demand for vision care products worldwide.

Production process

Contact lenses under hs code 900130 are typically produced through a multi-step manufacturing process. This involves the precise shaping and polishing of the lens material, which can be made from a variety of polymers such as silicone hydrogels. The lenses are then carefully inspected and packaged to ensure their quality and sterility before being distributed globally.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of contact lenses under hs code 900130 include the raw lens materials, specialized manufacturing equipment, and clean room facilities. Lens materials such as silicone hydrogels, as well as various chemicals and additives, are essential for the production of these high-precision optical devices. Additionally, advanced manufacturing machinery and stringent quality control measures are necessary to ensure the consistent production of contact lenses that meet regulatory standards.

Production outputs

Contact lenses produced under hs code 900130 are primarily used for vision correction and are consumed by the 900211 Spectacles, goggles and the like, corrective, protective or other industry. These lenses may also be used in specialized applications such as 900140 Spectacle lenses of glass, unmounted or 900150 Spectacle lenses of other materials, unmounted. The global trade of these contact lenses plays a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for vision care solutions worldwide.
