LMPC Certificate for Importers: Packaged Goods Compliance in India
S
Statura Team
The LMPC (Legal Metrology Packaged Commodities) certificate is mandatory for any business importing pre-packaged goods into India. Customs increasingly asks for it at the port.
Who Needs It?
Every importer of packaged commodities meant for retail sale — electronics, cosmetics, food, consumer goods.
Documents Required
- IEC and business registration.
- Details of packaged products and label artwork.
- Address proof and authorisation.
The Process
Apply to the Director of Legal Metrology within 90 days of starting imports. The certificate confirms your packages will carry compliant declarations (importer, MRP, quantity, origin).
Why It Matters
Without LMPC, consignments can be held at customs and packages seized for non-compliant labelling.
Statura secures LMPC and legal metrology registrations for importers.
