Federal Section 232 Investigation from 9/26/25 Open for Comments for Opticians to discuss approval or opposition of Tariff increases on imported Medical Devices (which may include eyewear) into the US. Tariff increases could increase cost as much as 25-50%, however the idea being is that this would force more medical devise production in the US (cons and pros).

These tariffs would be in addition to the existing tariffs currently in place. The OAAK does not make a stance on the matter, but we wish to provide you with the information to comment on your views. The time to comment is very short!! You must comment by this Friday 10/10/25 and you can view the regulation proposal at:
