Asbestos Friction Drum Linings from United States
Asbestos friction drum linings are sheet linings for brake drums containing asbestos, cut to arc shapes but unmounted for truck applications. They fall under tariff item 6813.20.19 as other brake linings and pads containing asbestos, since they are not for the motor vehicles specified in the sibling item. The high friction coefficient makes them suitable for heavy loads.

Import Tips
• Confirm the linings are not for motor vehicles of headings 87.02 to 87.05, as that would require the sibling item
• Ensure the linings are unmounted; if they are bonded to a brake shoe, they may be classified elsewhere
• Keep documentation on the asbestos content, as CBSA may inspect the shipment
