Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mounted on backing plates for direct vehicle installation
Mounted brake pads are classified as parts of motor vehicles in Chapter 87 rather than unmounted friction materials.
If containing asbestos fibers
Asbestos-based friction materials fall under the specific asbestos subheading in 6813.20.
If imported as clutch friction discs rather than brake pads
Clutch-specific friction articles are often classified under transmission parts in Chapter 84.
