About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

HTS code 9001.30.00.00 specifically classifies contact lenses. These are ophthalmic lenses designed to be worn directly on the surface of the eye to correct vision impairments. This category encompasses all types of contact lenses, regardless of material (e.g., soft, rigid gas permeable) or intended use (e.g., daily wear, extended wear, cosmetic).

This classification is distinct from its sibling categories within heading 9001. While 9001.10.00 covers optical fibers and related cables, and 9001.20.00.00 deals with polarizing materials, this node is narrowly focused on lenses for direct ocular application. Furthermore, it differentiates itself from 9001.40.00.00 and 9001.50.00.00, which are reserved for spectacle lenses made of glass and other materials, respectively.

As a leaf node, HTS code 9001.30.00.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the primary classification criterion relies on the product's intended use and physical form: a lens placed on the eye. Any variations in prescription, color, or material are subsumed under this single classification, provided they meet the definition of a contact lens.
