Asbestos Textile-Reinforced Brake Pads for Forklifts from United States
Asbestos textile-reinforced brake pads for forklifts combine an asbestos base with woven textile scrim and cellulose to enhance durability in braking applications. These pads are unmounted, meaning they are not yet attached to a brake assembly, and fall under tariff item 6813.20.19 as other brake linings and pads containing asbestos. The textile reinforcement does not change classification because the asbestos remains the primary friction material.

Import Tips
• Verify that the textile scrim is merely reinforcing and does not transform the product into a textile article of Chapter 59
• Ensure the pads are truly unmounted; if mounted, they may fall under Chapter 87
• Declare the asbestos content accurately, as CBSA may require additional documentation under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act
