EU and UK Supply — REACH, RoHS, VAT, CE

Optical components are specified parts. They are not sold as finished machines or as medical devices. The OEM or integrator remains responsible for CE/UKCA of the completed apparatus and for MDR if they place a device on the market.

1. B2B only — not consumers

We supply businesses and professional users. Directive 2011/83/EU consumer withdrawal (14 days) does not apply. Custom, coated and special-order optics are made to print and are not “off the shelf” consumer goods. See Terms of sale and Returns.

2. Importer of record, Incoterms, VAT

Unless quoted otherwise, Incoterms® are EXW or FCA Florida, USA.
The buyer is importer of record in the EU or UK: customs, duties, VAT/GST and brokerage are the buyer’s account.
Prices are in USD unless the quotation says otherwise.
VAT-registered EU B2B buyers: put your VAT number on the PO. Reverse charge may apply; we do not run an EU VAT warehouse.
UK buyers: provide EORI / VAT as required by your broker.

3. REACH (EC 1907/2006)

We supply articles (optics, coatings, mounts), not substances for EU registration as a manufacturer of chemicals. For a named part number we issue, on request, a statement on SVHC above 0.1% w/w when that information is available from our material and coating suppliers. Tell us the part number and the revision of the drawing.

4. RoHS (2011/65/EU) and UK RoHS

Declarations of RoHS status are issued on request for a specified part. Many IR crystals, metals and coating stacks are components of electrical/electronic equipment rather than finished EEE placed on the market under our brand. Do not assume a blanket “all catalogue RoHS” letter without a part number.

5. CE, UKCA and machinery

We do not CE-mark or UKCA-mark windows, lenses, mirrors or coatings as complete machinery, PPE or measuring instruments. If your machine or instrument needs CE/UKCA, that is the manufacturer of the finished product.

6. Medical (EU MDR 2017/745)

Medical is a market we sell into, not a claim that we are a medical-device manufacturer. We do not hold ISO 13485 and we do not place medical devices on the EU market. If you integrate our optic into a device, you are the legal manufacturer of that device unless a written contract says otherwise.

7. WEEE

We are not registering as a producer of branded finished EEE under WEEE for these component sales. Scrap and take-back of equipment that incorporates our optics is the equipment manufacturer’s or the importer’s duty.

8. Dual-use and export

US EAR and, after import, EU dual-use Regulation (EU) 2021/821 may apply depending on the part and end use. We may ask for an end-user statement. Details: Export compliance.

9. Conflict minerals and other letters

Conflict-minerals, California Prop 65, TSCA and similar statements are issued on request against a part number. We do not publish a generic all-products letter that would be inaccurate.

10. Documents to request on the RFQ

ISO 9001 certificate
Certificate of conformity / mill or material cert
REACH SVHC and RoHS declaration
Commercial invoice + packing list (always with the shipment)
Certificate of origin (if your broker needs it)

Email sales@infraspecoptics.com or use the quote form and list the documents in the notes field.

11. Privacy

RFQ data from EU/UK contacts is handled under our Privacy policy (GDPR / UK GDPR). Rights requests: the same email. We have not appointed an EU Article 27 representative; requests are handled from Florida within one month.
