A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that general machinery import procedures apply without accounting for the BEE energy-labelling overlay introduced by the 2026 Regulations. The Regulations notified on 26 December 2025 are recent and may not yet be reflected in a supplier's standard export documentation checklist; importers must proactively confirm that the foreign manufacturer has obtained BEE registration and affixed the prescribed energy label before shipment, as absence of the label at port results in consignment detention with accruing demurrage.
