1.1 Before importing goods (freezers or refrigerators), you must ensure that the product is registered according to the AS/NZS standards 4474.1 and 4474.2. The registration requirements will depend on which category the product belongs to.

Note: DOE will classify the products into three categories that will require the importer to provide different documents with their application:

• Category A - products are already registered in another country that uses the same MEPS standards and energy labeling.
• Category B -  Identical product registered in another country that uses the same MEPS standards and energy labeling, but intended to be sold under a different brand or model number in Fiji
• Category C - Not registered in any other country that uses the same MEPS standards and energy labeling, and therefore needs to be registered with DOE 

1.2 If registration is required, you must submit the required documents to the DOE.

1.3 DOE will review the documents submitted

1.4 If any documents are missing or incomplete, the trader will be notified and requested to submit the necessary documentation.

1.5 If approved, the products will be registered.

1.6 If rejected, you will be informed of the reasons for rejection
