What is Legal Metrology (LMPC) Registration?

Legal Metrology LMPC Registration
LMPC Rule 27 Packaged Commodities Compliance Ministry of Consumer Affairs

Under Rule 27 of the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, every entity importing, packing, or distributing pre-packaged goods in India must register their company name and premises with the Director of Legal Metrology (Central Government) or the State Controller.

Customs authorities strictly verify the LMPC Registration Certificate prior to releasing imported consignments. Selling or importing pre-packed goods without valid LMPC registration or non-compliant MRP/declarations leads to severe fines, goods seizure, and prosecution.

Customs ICEGATE Verification

Customs mandates LMPC certificate submission in Single Window Interface (SWIFT) before clearing commercial shipments.

Lifetime Validity

LMPC Importer/Packer registration has lifetime validity as long as company address or product lines remain unchanged.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions (Legal Metrology)

Yes. Any packaged commodity meant for sale, distribution, or commercial use in India requires an LMPC certificate under Rule 27. Only bulk raw materials or wholesale industrial packages with weight exceeding 25 kg/litres (and specific B2B packages) are exempt under Rule 26.

For imported packages, the Legal Metrology Rules allow affixing a non-detachable sticker containing all mandatory declarations (such as Importer details, MRP, Month of Import, Consumer Care) in the customs bonded warehouse before cargo clearance.

Violation of Legal Metrology Packaged Commodity rules can attract fines up to ₹1,00,000, seizure of entire stock at customs ports or retail warehouses, and potential imprisonment for repeat offenses.
