Notification No.17/2015-2020 dated 05.09.2019 amended the import
policy of Iron & Steel by revising it from ‘Free’ to ‘Free’ subject to
compulsory registration under Steel Import Monitoring System (SIMS) for the
items covered in chapter 72, 73 and 86 of ITC (HS), 2017, Schedule-I (Import
policy).
2. The Directorate has received a query that whether the SIMS
Registration is required both at the point of import into SEZ/FTWZ and at the
time of Customs Clearance for import from SEZ to DTA.
3. The matter has
been examined in consultation with Ministry of Steel and it is clarified that in
case an item of steel gets registered under SIMS at the time of entry into
SEZ/FTWZ, there is no need to seek SIMS Registration again at the time of supply
of such item into DTA. In other words, if the goods imported under SIMS to
SEZ/FTWZ are supplied to DTA unit without any processing, the DTA unit need not
seek any registration under SIMS. However, if manufacturing process in SEZ
results in change of HS Code at 8-digit level, the importer in DTA shall be
required to register under SIMS.
This issues with the approval of
competent authority.
