Yes. You have to import them (unless already done) on "add" event; those 
values are stored in udev database and added to environment *before* rules 
are being processed on "remove" event. At least that is the theory :)

You also can explicitly assign any environment variable on "add" and it should 
be available as well on "remove". This allows you to mark any specific device 
if you like.
