Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If asbestos-cement fabricated yarn
Asbestos-cement yarn mixtures are in 6813, separate from pure fiber millboard.
If plastic-impregnated
Plastic-asbestos composites classify as other plastic articles in Chapter 39.
If needle-punched felt
Non-asbestos needleloom felt heads 5602; asbestos shifts due to hazardous material provisions.
