Asbestos Cellulose Clutch Washers from Japan
Asbestos cellulose clutch washers are pre-cut washer shapes made from an asbestos-cellulose friction mix, used in clutch packs for transmissions. These washers are unmounted and fall under tariff item 6813.20.19 as other brake linings and pads containing asbestos, given their clutch application. The cellulose component allows for wet-clutch use, but the asbestos basis determines the classification.

Import Tips
• Ensure the washers are not mounted or incorporated into a clutch assembly, as that would change the tariff classification
• Verify the cellulose content does not exceed the asbestos basis, as the primary material determines the heading
• Be aware that asbestos-containing products may face import restrictions under Canadian regulations
