7015.10.00.00 - Glasses for corrective spectacles

This HTS category, 7015.10.00.00, specifically covers glasses designed for corrective spectacles. These are lenses intended to be incorporated into eyewear to correct vision defects, such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, or presbyopia. The key characteristic is their purpose in vision correction, distinguishing them from general-purpose or purely decorative glass.

It's important to differentiate this from its sibling category, 7015.90, which is designated for "Other." This means 7015.90 would encompass clock or watch glasses, similar non-corrective glasses, hollow glass spheres, and segments for glass manufacturing that do not fall under the corrective spectacle lens classification.

As a leaf node, 7015.10.00.00 has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this heading relies on determining if the glasses' primary function is to correct vision. This includes both prescription lenses and specialized lenses designed for specific optical correction, provided they are not optically worked beyond their intended corrective function.
