Import Tips
• Submit material safety data sheets (MSDS) confirming mineral/ceramic composition and non-asbestos status
• Distinguish from Chapter 69 ceramics by proving primary friction function over structural use
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests parts for assembly, triggering specific machinery HTS
