What is LMPC for Importers?
LMPC (Legal Metrology Packaged Commodities) compliance is a mandatory regulatory requirement under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009 and Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, enforced by the Legal Metrology Department.
It ensures that imported packaged goods carry correct, transparent, and standardized declarations to protect consumer rights.
For importers, LMPC compliance requires registration and accurate labeling of all pre-packaged commodities before sale, distribution, or storage in India.
Who Needs LMPC Registration?
LMPC registration is mandatory for importers dealing in pre-packaged commodities, including:
- Importers of packaged consumer goods
- Importers of food and non-food packaged products
- Importers of cosmetics, electronics, household items, and FMCG goods
- Brand owners importing packaged products under their own name
- Traders and distributors importing pre-packed commodities
If you import packaged goods into India, LMPC compliance is legally required before market entry.
