Under CIMS, importers must register 45+ HS codes covering processors, memory chips, microcontrollers, display drivers, and related components before the Bill of Lading is issued. Our experienced team manages the entire process, including online CIMS portal registration, Automatic Registration Number (ARN) generation, quantity declarations, end-use certificates, and six-month validity tracking. This service is ideal for manufacturers importing chips for machinery assembly and export markets in the US, Europe, and the Middle East.
CIMS is fully integrated with ICEGATE, requiring upload of purchase orders, technical specifications, IEC details, and projected consumption data. Registrations must be filed within three days of placing the import order and the generated ARN shared with overseas suppliers. Kireeti Consultants ensures 100% compliance, helping you avoid shipment holds, customs queries, and costly supply chain disruptions.
CIMS also supports data-driven policymaking while preserving duty benefits under EPCG and Advance Authorisation schemes. We assist with quantity amendments, HS code corrections, multi-portfolio tracking, and coordination with suppliers and customs authorities. Our services also align CIMS compliance with SION norms for Advance Authorizations, ensuring end-to-end regulatory clarity.
