The most common error on this tariff line is dispatching consignments before the BEE appliance label has been affixed and the conformance documentation finalised, on the assumption that boiler-category energy-labelling requirements are less rigorously enforced than consumer-appliance schedules. The Regulations, 2026 are operative from their gazette date of 26 December 2025, and a consignment arriving without a compliant BEE label faces detention and demurrage while awaiting either rectification or re-export.
