Asbestos Brake Shoe Lining Sheets from Japan
Asbestos brake shoe lining sheets are unmounted sheets of friction material composed primarily of asbestos fibers, designed for lining brake shoes in heavy-duty vehicles. They fall under tariff item 6813.20.19 as other brake linings and pads containing asbestos, since they are not for the specific motor vehicles listed in the sibling item. The sheets are supplied unmounted and ready to be cut or fitted by the end user.

Import Tips
• Confirm the sheets are not mounted or shaped for a specific vehicle, as that could shift classification
• If the sheets are cut to size for a particular truck model, check whether the vehicle falls under headings 87.02 to 87.05
• Keep records of the asbestos content percentage, as CBSA may verify the material composition
