A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the BEE labelling obligation attaches only to finished consumer appliances and not to component-level motors. The Regulations apply to motors of an output not exceeding 37.5 W under this CTI; importers who treat the consignment as a generic industrial component and omit the energy-label conformance declaration face detention at the port of import.
