LMPC (Legal Metrology Packaged Commodities) Certificate

Introduction

The Legal Metrology Packaged Commodities (LMPC) Certificate is a mandatory approval issued under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009 by the Department of Consumer Affairs, Government of India. It is required for importers, manufacturers, and packers of pre-packaged goods sold in India. The aim of LMPC is to ensure that consumers receive accurate information regarding weight, quantity, and price, and to maintain fair trade practices in the market.

Any business that imports or manufactures packaged goods like electronics, cosmetics, food, household items, machinery parts, etc. must obtain an LMPC Certificate before selling or distributing them in India. Without LMPC registration, clearance of imported goods at customs is not possible.
