A word of counsel

The BEE (Appliance Labeling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026 are recent — issued December 2025 — and importers sourcing under long-term purchase orders placed before the notification date risk receiving consignments that were packed and labelled to the prior regime. Verify that the manufacturer's compliance documentation specifically references Notification No. 5506/BEE/S&L/AL/2025-26; pre-notification test reports or label approvals will not satisfy customs verification at the bill-of-entry stage.
