About heading 6813
Friction material and articles thereof (for example, sheets, rolls, strips, segments, discs, washers, pads), not mounted, for brakes, for clutches or the like, with a basis of asbestos, of other mineral substances or of cellulose, whether or not combined with textile or other materials
Heading 6813 covers friction material and articles of friction material that are not mounted, used for brakes, clutches or similar applications, made with a basis of asbestos, other mineral substances or cellulose. The heading splits first by asbestos content: 6813.20 for material containing asbestos, and 6813.81 or 6813.89 for material not containing asbestos. Each of those groups then splits into brake linings and pads versus other articles, and within that into articles for use in civil aircraft versus other. All listed lines carry a general (MFN) rate of Free.
