Import Tips
• Verify the strips are not mounted or incorporated into a clutch or brake assembly, as that would change classification
• Confirm the asbestos basis is primary; if cellulose or textile dominates, the product may fall elsewhere
• Be aware that agricultural equipment parts may have different duty rates under other tariff items
