A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is presenting energy-label documentation that references an earlier BEE scheme or an older notification, rather than the current Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labeling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026 notified on 26 December 2025. Customs officers are instructed to verify that the compliance paperwork is anchored to the current notification; outdated label approvals will not satisfy the bill-of-entry requirement and will expose the consignment to detention pending re-documentation.
