CBSA Reasoning

&&Heading 85.12 provides for electrical lighting or signaling equipment (excluding articles of heading 85.39), windscreen wipers, defrosters and demisters, of a kind used for cycles or motor vehicles. The Explanatory Note (EN) to heading 85.12 states that the heading covers "electrical apparatus and appliances specialized for use on cycles or motor vehicles for lighting or signaling purposes." The Child Check-Mate System, being an electronic audible signal generator used in a motor vehicle, is considered to be sufficiently similar in function to other products enumerated in the EN to heading 85.12 it would be most appropriately classified in this heading.
