Steel import monitoring registration validity extended for affected automatic registrations to address COVID-19 related shipment delays. The Steel Import Monitoring System requires importers to submit advance information online and obtain an automatic Registration Number on payment of a registration fee subject to minimum and maximum caps. Registrations may be applied for between 60 and 15 days before expected arrival and are ordinarily valid for 75 days. Automatic registration numbers generated up to 31 March 2020 are granted a one-time extension of validity to a total of 135 days due to COVID-19 related shipment delays.
