Under the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, any importer, manufacturer or packer of pre-packaged goods must register with the Legal Metrology department before those goods can be sold in India. Customs increasingly holds shipments of packaged goods that lack an LMPC certificate. We prepare your application with the correct packer/importer declarations and label compliance details, so your consignments clear without holdups.
