Late SIMS application may attract customs penalty, delayed clearance and risk to IEC; apply immediately.
Failure to file a Steel Import Monitoring System (SIMS) application within the required 2-5 day pre-arrival window (policy effective 5 August 2025) constitutes non-compliance. Consequences include customs penalties for late submission, potential cargo clearance delays with demurrage, exposure to a show-cause notice, and risk to the importer's IEC; immediate late filing and consultation with a Customs House Agent are advised.
