A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating BEE energy labelling as a post-import formality rather than a pre-shipment obligation. Consignments arriving without the mandated label affixed or without conformance documentation uploaded in e-Sanchit face detention, demurrage, and ground rent accrual at the port; the Regulations came into effect on 26 December 2025 and suppliers unfamiliar with the new scheme may ship non-compliant units unless explicitly briefed.
