Coal import registration window shortened, changing latest application timing while retaining 75 day registration validity. Amendment to Policy Condition No.7(ii) of Chapter 27, Schedule I (Import Policy) mandates that importers apply for automatic registration under the Coal Import Monitoring System (CIMS) no earlier than 60 days and not later than 5 days before expected arrival; the Automatic Registration Number remains valid for 75 days and its number and expiry date must be entered in the Bill of Entry to enable Customs clearance.
