A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is shipping units without the BEE-prescribed energy label already affixed, on the assumption that labelling can be applied after customs clearance. The Appliance Labeling and Compliance Regulations, 2026 require label compliance before import; unlabelled consignments are liable to detention at the port of entry pending remediation, and ground rent accrues throughout. Obtain the compliance certificate and confirm label placement before vessel loading.
