Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8431.20.00Same rate: 35%

If parts for forklifts or earth-moving machinery

Machine-specific friction elements classify as parts of those Chapter 84 machines.

6810.19.12Higher: 39.9% vs 35%

If prefabricated mineral building components

Shaped mineral tiles/segments for construction fall under Chapter 68 heading 6810.

3926.90.99Lower: 22.8% vs 35%

If polymer binders dominate

Plastic-based friction with minor minerals goes to Chapter 39 other articles.
