HS code for Sunglasses with plastic lenses
HS 2022Destination USConfidence 0.92Spectacles, goggles and the like, corrective, protective or other > Sunglasses
Section XVIII: Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, precision, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; clocks and watches; musical instruments; parts and accessories thereof · Chapter 90: Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, precision, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; parts and accessories thereof · Heading 9004: Spectacles, goggles and the like, corrective, protective or other
Why this code
The product is sunglasses, a worn optical article with a frame and lenses for protection from sunlight and glare. Heading 9004 covers spectacles, goggles and the like, corrective, protective or other, and subheading 900410 specifically names sunglasses. Chapter 90 Note 1 excludes none of these goods, and the plastic lens material does not change the heading. Lens grade, tint, corrective power and UV rating do not alter the classification, so no further information is needed. Heading 9001 covers unmounted lenses and heading 9003 covers frames or parts, so neither describes the complete article.
Rules applied: GRI 1, Chapter 90 Note 1, GRI 6.
