A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the BEE energy-labelling obligation attaches only at the point of domestic sale and not at import. The Regulations, 2026 apply at the border: a consignment arriving without a conforming BEE label or supporting compliance documentation will be detained at the port of entry, attracting demurrage and ground rent, and may be directed for re-export if the non-compliance is not rectifiable.
