Steering Wheel Lock Bar from Canada
A steel bar device that clamps around the steering wheel and brake pedal of a car to prevent the wheel from turning, serving as a non-integral immobilizer. It falls under HTS 8301.20.00.30 as a lock specifically designed for motor vehicles, not built into the vehicle's structure. These visible deterrents are popular for aftermarket anti-theft security.

Import Tips
• Verify the device is explicitly for motor vehicles and non-integral to avoid reclassification as general padlocks under 8301.10
• Include detailed photos and diagrams in documentation showing installation on steering wheel to prove HTS 8301.20.00.30 applicability
• Ensure labeling complies with automotive safety standards; common pitfall is missing country-of-melt for steel components
