Import Tips
• Confirm the segments are unmounted and not part of a rail brake assembly, as that could shift classification
• Ensure the asbestos basis is primary; if mineral substances dominate, the product may fall under a different heading
• Be aware that rail parts may be subject to additional safety regulations
