The key points are: The imported materials are more appropriately classifiable under Chapter Heading 6813 as friction material based on their composition and usage in brake pad manufacturing. The Material Safety Data Sheet also identifies them as friction material. Friction materials not mounted for brakes or clutches fall under CTH 6813.

Therefore, it is more appropriately classifiable under CTH 6813 and not under CTH 3824.
