Compulsory Online Registration for Computer Chip Import (CHIMS) from 1 Aug

·       ICs in Heading 8542 in the all sub-headings including Parts of ICs covered

·       Forced manufacturing of ICs at gun point will yield little, says Industry

·       Non Tariff Barrier to Imports subject to Fees is Indirect way of Licensing, which is Violation of WTO as well as IT Agreements

·       Measures serve no purpose since Bills of Entry on which Registration number must be mentioned has all the details of the items along with Importer Name, Packing List, Invoice, Country of Origin etc.

·       Manufacturing of Electronics will become more expensive due to compliance cost, import of complete item with ICs inside as well as components such as PCBA will be encouraged, goes against policy of promotion value addition

·       There is no manufacturing of ICs in the Country which needs protection or encouragement

·       Exclusive Policy to bring investment to Fab has yielded no result, this measure too will yield little

·       DGFT to Manage CHIMS will only duplicate Customs EDI
