A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that BEE labelling obligations attach only to consumer appliances and not to industrial or towed-chassis compressor units. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labeling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026 notified on 26 December 2025 extend labelling and compliance requirements to this product family; consignments arriving without conforming BEE labels are liable to detention pending rectification or re-export.
