SIMS Certificate
Steel Import Monitoring System (SIMS) is an online system introduced by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, to collect and monitor data related to the import of steel products into India.
Under SIMS, importers are required to submit steel import details through an online registration before importing steel consignments into India. The system helps in maintaining records of steel imports for data monitoring purposes.
The information required under SIMS generally includes:
-
Name of the importer
-
Country of origin of the steel
-
Quantity of steel being imported
-
Port of entry in India
SIMS enables authorities to maintain import data related to steel products and supports regulatory monitoring. Importers must ensure compliance with applicable rules and notifications issued by the concerned government departments.
