Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

6813.20.00.10Same rate: 35%

If in the form of segments or blocks

Same asbestos basis but different shapes like segments fall under the prior sub-subheading 6813.20.00.10.

8483.50.90Higher: 37.8% vs 35%

If mounted on clutch transmission parts

Assembled clutch components with mounted friction material are classified under Chapter 84 as transmission parts.

5908.00.00Higher: 38.4% vs 35%

If primarily coated textile fabric rather than friction composite

Textile-based coated fabrics shift to Chapter 59 if not qualifying as friction material with dominant asbestos/mineral basis.
