The most common error on this tariff line is treating the ITC (HS) Restricted status as a legacy formality and overlapping it with the newly operative BEE labelling regime as if they were independent streams. The BEE (Appliance Labeling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026 came into force on 26 December 2025; consignments shipped before that date under earlier compliance assumptions may now be detained for non-conformance with the current labelling standard, even where the DGFT authorisation is valid.
