Asbestos Brake Shoe Lining Sheets
Unmounted sheets of friction material primarily composed of asbestos fibers, designed specifically for lining brake shoes in heavy-duty vehicles. This product falls under HTS 6813.20.00.25 as it contains asbestos and is used for brakes, not mounted for immediate use. It may be combined with minimal textile reinforcements for durability.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If asbestos-free and based on mineral substances
Products without asbestos but with other mineral bases shift to subheading 6813.81 for non-asbestos friction materials.
If pre-mounted on brake shoes
Mounted brake linings are classified as parts of motor vehicles under Chapter 87 rather than unmounted friction material.
If containing >70% asbestos by weight in non-friction applications
High-asbestos content articles not specifically for friction use fall under heading 6815 for other asbestos products.
