What is Legal Metrology LMPC Registration in Jammu?
Under Rule 27 of the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, any business that imports, manufactures, or packages pre-packed goods for sale or distribution in India must register as an Importer or Packer with the Legal Metrology Department.
For importers and manufacturers operating in Jammu (including industrial hubs like Bari Brahmana, Samba, Kathua, and Udhampur), holding an LMPC Certificate is essential before launching products in the market or clearing imported cargo through Customs ports. Per DGFT notifications, Customs authorities strictly inspect incoming packaged shipments for valid LMPC registration numbers and compliant mandatory label declarations.
Mandatory declarations on pre-packaged labels include: Country of Origin, Common Name of Commodity, Net Quantity (in standard units), Month & Year of Import/Mfg, Maximum Retail Price (MRP inclusive of all taxes), and Consumer Care contact details.
