Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 6813.81.00
Organic Brake Pads for Motorcycles
Non-asbestos organic brake pads for motorcycle disc systems, using cellulose, mineral fillers like glass fibers, and aramid combined with resins. These unmounted pads are under HTS 6813.81.00 as brake pads with cellulose/mineral basis for friction applications. They offer quiet operation and fade resistance for two-wheeled vehicles.
Sintered Brake Pads for Racing Cars
High-friction sintered pads for performance racing cars, made from compressed mineral powders and ceramics, unmounted for custom installation. HTS 6813.81.00 applies to these non-asbestos brake pads with mineral basis for extreme conditions. Used in motorsports for superior heat dissipation.
Cellulose-Mineral Brake Pads for ATVs
Composite brake pads for all-terrain vehicles, combining cellulose fibers with mineral reinforcements like basalt, asbestos-free and unmounted. Fits HTS 6813.81.00 as brake pads with cellulose/mineral basis for recreational off-road use.
Industrial Mineral Brake Pads for Forklifts
Unmounted mineral-based pads for warehouse forklift brakes, using steatite and other minerals per Chapter note allowances. HTS 6813.81.00 for non-asbestos brake friction materials in material handling equipment.
Eco-Friendly NAO Brake Linings
Non-asbestos organic (NAO) linings for luxury sedans, mineral-cellulose mix for low noise and dust, unmounted. HTS 6813.81.00 brake linings category.
Heavy Duty Mineral Pads for Mining Trucks
Extreme-duty pads for mining haul trucks, mineral composites for high torque, unmounted. HTS 6813.81.00 non-asbestos brakes.
Asbestos-Free Ceramic Brake Pads
High-performance ceramic-based brake pads designed for automotive disc brakes, composed of mineral substances like silica and alumina combined with binders, not mounted for installation. These fall under HTS 6813.81.00 as friction material pads for brakes without asbestos, specifically categorized as brake linings and pads. They provide superior stopping power and low dust for passenger vehicles.
Semi-Metallic Brake Linings for Trucks
Semi-metallic friction linings for heavy-duty truck drum brakes, made from mineral fibers, metal particles, and cellulose binders, supplied as unmounted strips. Classified under HTS 6813.81.00 for non-asbestos brake linings and pads based on mineral substance composition for vehicular braking systems. Ideal for commercial fleet durability.
Mineral-Based Brake Pads for Heavy Equipment
Friction pads for excavator and bulldozer brakes, featuring sintered mineral compounds (e.g., copper-free alloys with rock dust) without asbestos, unmounted. HTS 6813.81.00 covers these as brake pads with mineral substance basis for off-road machinery. Engineered for high-heat industrial braking.
Low-Metallic Brake Linings for Buses
Low-metallic linings for transit bus drum brakes, blending mineral silicates, cellulose, and minimal steel wool, asbestos-free and unmounted. Under HTS 6813.81.00 for brake linings with specified basis materials. Provides extended life for public transport applications.
