A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is shipping consignments manufactured or labelled before the Regulations' enforcement date without verifying that the label rating and test data conform to the 2026 Regulations rather than any earlier BEE scheme. The 2026 Regulations issued under Notification No. 5506/BEE/S&L/AL/2025-26 constitute the live operative framework; consignments bearing superseded label formats or star-rating criteria are treated as non-compliant at the bill of entry, attracting detention.
