Frame materials make or break your brand impression.
Cheap PP or ABS frames crack on first drop. Polycarbonate and TR-90 survive real use. Choose the material your brand deserves.
| Material | Weight | Durability | Price Level | Best For | Brand Feel |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recommended Polycarbonate (PC) | 22–28g | Excellent | $$ | Sports, safety, everyday promo | Reliable, modern, active |
| Recommended TR-90 (Nylon) | 18–24g | Excellent — shape memory | $$$ | Sports, all-day active wear | Premium comfort, flexible |
| Acetate | 28–35g | Good | $$$$ | Premium gifts, retail merch | Luxury, deep polish, rich color |
| PP / ABS (Budget) | 20–35g | Poor — cracks on drop | $ | Ultra-budget giveaways only | Cheap, brittle, avoid for brand |
Our recommendation: Polycarbonate (PC) is the industry standard for promotional sunglasses — it delivers the best balance of durability, weight, and cost. TR-90 is ideal when comfort and flexibility are the priority. Acetate suits premium retail and luxury corporate gifts. We recommend avoiding PP/ABS for any brand-sensitive application — the marginal cost saving isn't worth the brand damage from brittle, cheap-feeling product.

Three lens technologies. One standard: protection you can trust.
UV400 Protection
Blocks 99–100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nanometers. Certified to ANSI Z80.3 and EN ISO 12312-1 standards. Lenses tested with UV-Vis spectrophotometer for full-spectrum verification before batch release.
Polarized Lenses
TAC (Tri-Acetate Cellulose) multi-layer construction eliminates horizontal glare waves while maintaining color accuracy and contrast. 99.9% polarizing efficiency verified via cross-polarized light transmission test.
Mirrored & Gradient
Vacuum-deposited mirror coatings in silver, blue, gold, green, and custom colors. Gradient tint transitions from darker top to lighter bottom for overhead sun protection while maintaining dashboard readability. REACH-compliant coating materials.
From raw materials to finished eyewear.
Frame & Lens Manufacturing
Select your frame material — TR-90, stainless steel, bamboo, or polycarbonate. Choose lens type: TAC polarized, photochromic, or CR-39. 20+ tint colors available. Every material Pantone-matched to your brand palette before production begins.
Lens Coating & Tinting
Multi-layer lens treatment applied in sequence — UV400 base block, polarization film lamination, tint infusion, hydrophobic top coat, and scratch-resistant hard coat. Each layer cured and tested before the next is applied.
Branding & Assembly
Logo applied via pad print, laser engraving, or UV print on temples. Lenses precision-fitted into frames. Hinges tensioned and cycled. Temple tips pressed. Each pair assembled on jig fixtures for consistent alignment and fit.
Inspection & Packaging
UV transmission spectrophotometer verified. Impact resistance tested per ANSI Z80.3. Coating adhesion cross-hatch tested. AQL 2.5 batch inspection. Custom-branded case, microfiber pouch, and retail-ready packaging prepared for global shipment.
Before your shipment leaves the factory — know these four standards.
Missing paperwork is the #1 cause of customs detention for promotional eyewear. Every shipment needs these documents before it hits the water.
FDA 21 CFR 801.410 — Drop Ball Test
Mandatory for all sunglasses imported into the United States under FDA 21 CFR 801.410. A ⅝-inch steel ball (~0.56 oz) is dropped from 50 inches onto the lens. The lens must not fracture. Manufacturers must retain test records and a Certification Statement of Impact Resistance for each lot shipped.
ISO 12312-1 / EN ISO 12312-1 — UV & Spectral
The international standard for sunglass lens performance — ISO 12312-1. Covers UV400 spectral transmittance, optical power, and mechanical strength. There is no single "ISO certificate" — compliance is proven via third-party lab test reports (SGS, Intertek, CTI) plus a Declaration of Conformity (DoC) kept in the importer's technical file.
ANSI Z80.3 & AS/NZS 1067 — US & AU/NZ
ANSI Z80.3 is the US non-prescription sunglass standard covering UV transmittance, optical quality, and impact resistance. AS/NZS 1067 is the equivalent Australian/New Zealand standard. Both align closely with ISO 12312-1 requirements and are verified through the same accredited lab testing process.
HTS 9004.10.00.00 — Tariff & Duties
The working HS/HTS code for sunglasses — HTS 9004.10.00.00. US general (MFN) duty is commonly ~2% ad valorem as a planning base — but China-origin shipments may face additional Section 301 tariffs or other surcharges. Always confirm the effective duty rate with your customs broker before quoting landed cost.
These shipments were detained at port. Here's exactly why — and what it cost.
Both stories below are from real importers. One missed FDA paperwork. One shipped without third-party test reports. Both paid thousands in unplanned fees.
"After shipment went through customs, FDA reached out to my customs broker, saying that the shipment is 'detained' due to neither my business nor the manufacturer being registered with the FDA — and there being no drop-ball test for the shipment."
"We ordered 5,000 promo sunglasses; factory shipped without the third-party test reports and CBP held the container — broker said 'we need a DoC and a lab report for UV/impact or CBP will not release.' Took four weeks and added $4,500 in storage and broker fees."
Don't let missing paperwork become a $4,500+ lesson. Every LeelinePromotion shipment includes the full compliance pack.
Get Your Compliance Checklist7 steps to import-ready promotional sunglasses — zero customs headaches.
Plan & Test
Define exactly what you need and verify it with independent lab data before committing to production.
Pre-Manufacturing: Define Your Spec
Lock down frame material (PC, TR-90, acetate), lens category (UV400, polarized, photochromic), tint color, logo position, and decoration method. A clear spec sheet prevents factory misunderstandings.
Sample & Lab Testing
Produce a production-grade sample. Commission an accredited lab (SGS, Intertek, CTI) to run spectral transmittance (UV400) and impact (FDA drop ball) tests. Get signed lab reports — not just a factory "OK."
Comply & QC
Lock in regulatory compliance and quality standards — the paperwork that prevents customs detention.
FDA Regulatory Setup
Ensure manufacturer and importer are registered/listed with FDA for US-bound shipments. Foreign manufacturers need a US Agent. This step alone prevents the most common detention cause for eyewear imports.
QC & AQL Agreement
Write formal inspection plan into the PO: sample size (ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 / ISO 2859, General Inspection Level II), AQL 2.5 for major defects, AQL 4.0 for minor defects. Specify third-party pre-shipment inspection provider.
Assemble Export Clearance Pack
Require factory to provide before shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, Certificate of Origin (if needed), lab test reports, Declaration of Conformity, AQL inspection report, and FDA Certification Statement.
Ship & Validate
Get the goods moving — then verify everything on arrival before handing off to fulfillment.
Shipping Terms & Customs Broker
Decide FOB / CIF / DDP. Pre-file with broker using HS 9004.10.00.00 (2% MFN base duty + verify Section 301 status). If using DDP, confirm factory has DDP experience to your destination country.
Post-Arrival Validation
Hold random samples from the received batch for re-test verification. Cross-check lab report sample IDs against your production lot. Only release inventory to fulfillment after final acceptance inspection.
