Brake lining harmonized system code

Product Overview Brake Lining, classified under HS Code 6813, refers to the friction material that is primarily composed of asbestos, copper wire, friction dust, and adhesive. Its key characteristics are its high tensile strength, excellent friction, temperature stability, non-noise, and non-pollution. It's designed to be long-lasting, displaying less wear and tear compared to other friction materials, and is thus, more cost-effective. Within the HS Code 6813, Brake Lining falls under the subcategory of 'Friction material and articles thereof'. The product is widely used in the automotive industry, specifically in vehicles' brake systems to reduce speed or hold them stationary. Its market positioning is primarily attributed to its superior quality and durability, making it a critical component in vehicle safety.
