Legal Metrology (LMPC) Registration
Packer, manufacturer or importer registration for pre-packaged goods.
Anyone who manufactures, packs or imports pre-packaged commodities for retail sale must register with the Legal Metrology department under the Packaged Commodities Rules, and labels must carry the mandatory declarations. Marketplaces and importers increasingly insist on this registration. We prepare the application, label compliance review and follow up with the department.
Timeline: 15–45 working days | Government fee: Department fee varies by state and registration type; billed at actuals.
