Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If asbestos-free and based on mineral substances
Asbestos-free friction materials shift to subheading 6813.81, excluding asbestos-containing variants.
If pre-mounted on brake backing plates
Mounted brake pads are classified as parts of motor vehicles in Chapter 87, not unmounted friction materials.
If primarily composed of carbon or graphite
Carbon or graphite-based articles fall under heading 6815, differentiated by mineral composition from asbestos/cellulose bases.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify asbestos content documentation complies with EPA and TSCA regulations; imports may require special permits due to health hazards
• Provide mill test reports certifying basis of asbestos/mineral substances; avoid misclassification as synthetic rubber pads
• Check for country-of-origin restrictions on asbestos products; common pitfall is incomplete friction material composition labels
