A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing slurry pumps under the assumption that BEE labelling obligations apply only to consumer appliances — the 2026 Regulations extend the scheme to industrial centrifugal pumps in this sub-heading. A consignment arriving without the BEE-mandated energy label affixed, or without the corresponding compliance certificate uploaded in e-Sanchit, will be detained at the port of import pending rectification, attracting demurrage and ground rent.
