The Import Monitoring System (IMS) is a DGFT-administered mechanism introduced to track, monitor, and regulate imports of notified product categories (e.g., steel, coal, paper, certain chemicals, and other sensitive commodities). Under IMS, importers must register each import consignment in advance and obtain an IMS Registration Number before filing the Bill of Entry.
IMS is not a licence—but non-registration can halt customs clearance, trigger system blocks on ICEGATE, and invite scrutiny from Customs and DGFT. For businesses importing monitored goods, IMS becomes a time-critical, shipment-linked compliance that must be executed accurately and in sequence.
Kafka Consultings LLP provides end-to-end IMS advisory and execution, ensuring correct applicability assessment, error-free registration, and seamless customs alignment, so shipments move without disruption.
