Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pre-mounted on backing plates for retail sale
Mounted brake pads are classified as parts and accessories of motor vehicles in Chapter 87, not as unmounted friction material.
If for clutch facings or industrial couplings
Friction materials for clutches or non-brake applications fall under the broader 'other' category in 6813.89.
If primarily cellulose-based without mineral substances
Purely cellulosic friction materials may classify under worked mineral products if not specified for brakes.
