Mineral-Based Brake Pads for Boeing 737 from Japan
These brake pads are composed primarily of mineral substances like ceramic composites and are specifically designed for the landing gear braking systems of civil aircraft such as the Boeing 737. They fall under HTS 6813.89.0010 because they are unmounted friction material articles for brakes in civil aircraft with a mineral substance basis, excluding asbestos. This classification ensures compliance with aviation safety standards for non-asbestos friction materials.
