A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that micro motors, being sub-components rather than finished appliances, fall outside the BEE labelling mandate. The Regulations apply to the product at the point of import; consignments arriving without a valid BEE-compliant energy label are detained at the port of entry pending rectification or re-export, and demurrage accrues during that period.
