Subsequent to the issuance of DGFT Notification No. 61/2015-2020 dated 31.03.2021 amending the import policy of items of copper (Annexure-I to DGFT Notification No. 61/2015-2020) falling in Chapter-74 of ITC (HS) and items of Aluminium (Annexure-III to DGFT Notification No. 61/2015-2020) falling in Chapter-76 of ITC (HS) from Free' to 'Free subject to compulsory registration under Non-Ferrous Metal Import Monitoring System (NFMIMS)', DGFT has received various representations from members of Trade & Industry seeking clarification on NFMIMS. <br><br> 2. The issues were referred to M/o Mines and based upon the clarification received, responses thereto are given below: <br><br> A. Whether imports through air mode are exempted from registration under NFMIMS? <br><br> Response: NFMIMS will not be applicable on air-freighted goods as this mode is used for emergency/small volume high value goods required at short notice. <br><br> B. Whether multiple consignments against a NFMIMS registration can be imported within the validity period of NFMIMS Registration? <br><br> Response: Any number of consignments can be imported by a single NFMIMS registration within the validity of the registration. <br><br> C. Whether it is compulsory to provide the proper Quality Control Order (QCO) description in NFMIMS or not? <br><br> Response: The information relating to proper QCO description can be treated as optional category in the description filed by importer under NFMIMS. <br><br> D. Whether the Custom officers at the border are mandated to check QCO description in NFMIMS certificate while clearing the Bill of Entries or not? <br><br> Response: Since the QCO information is optional information therefore, it is not mandatory for the Custom officer to check QCO description under NFMIMS. However, custom officer has to consider the provisions/rules under the other laws of the land at the time of clearing the Bill of Entries. <br><br> E. Whether NFMIMS is applicable to shipments under Advance Authorization, DFIA and SEZs? <br><br> Response: NFMIMS is applicable to imports through Advance Authorization, DFIA and import to SEZs.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Tags : Clarification, Issuance, NFMIMS</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <!--<td><strong>Source : <a target="_new" href="http://www.manupatrafast.com/">newsroom.manupatra.com</a></strong></td>--> <td align="left" valign="top"><strong>Source : newsroom.manupatra.com</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Regards</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Team Manupatra</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
