Overview: 

The AIMS is a compulsory online registration system implemented by DGFT for tracking imports of aluminum items notified under relevant ITC (HS) codes. Importers must generate a URN for each eligible consignment prior to filing out the Bill of Entry. 

AIMS helps the government analyze import trends, monitor pricing, prevent dumping and maintain a level playing field for domestic aluminum producers. Without a valid AIMS registration, aluminum consignments may be held or rejected during customs clearance. 

Benefits: 

• Smooth Customs Clearance: Prevents shipment holds by ensuring URN availability at the time of import. 

• Regulatory Compliance: Ensures adherence to DGFT import regulations and avoids penalties. 

• Trade Transparency: Helps monitor aluminum import volumes and pricing trends. 

• Risk Mitigation: Reduces chances of detention, demurrage and port storage charges. 

• Improved Credibility: Builds trust with customs authorities and trade partners.

• Importer Exporter Code (IEC): Mandatory for all aluminum importers. 

• Digital Signature Certificate (DSC): For secure online application filing.

• Proforma Invoice / Purchase Order: Mentioning quantity, value and supplier details. 

• Product Details: HS Code, aluminum grade, product description, country of origin. 

• Shipment Details: Expected port of arrival and mode of transport.

• Registration Fee: ₹500 per application. 

• Application Window: Earliest: 60 days before expected arrival and latest: 5 days before shipment arrival.
