<h1>Government Launches Steel Import Monitoring System for Advance Registration, Enhancing Transparency and Tracking Imports.</h1> The Steel Import Monitoring System (SIMS) is an online platform launched by the government to facilitate advance registration for steel imports. Importers must provide information online to receive a Registration Number 15-60 days before importation, valid for 75 days. This system requires no additional documentation for customs clearance beyond the SIMS Registration Number and its expiry date. SIMS enhances transparency and aids the Ministry of Steel and the industry in tracking specific steel grades being imported. This information was shared by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.
