What is LMPC Registration in Patna, Bihar?
Under Rule 27 of the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, every business that imports, manufactures, or packages pre-packaged goods meant for retail sale or distribution in India must register with the Legal Metrology Department. The primary objective is to safeguard consumer rights by ensuring that all pre-packaged commodities carry clear, accurate, and non-deceptive declarations.
For importers in Patna and across Bihar bringing packaged electronics, cosmetics, food products, garments, or industrial goods into India, Customs authorities (Customs Officers & DGFT) mandate an active **LMPC Importer Registration Certificate**. Importers must apply within **90 days** of starting import operations. Non-compliant shipments risk customs detention, heavy compounding penalties, or seizure of goods.
For domestic manufacturers and packers in industrial belts like Patna, Hajipur, Muzaffarpur, Begusarai, and Gaya, obtaining an **LMPC Packer/Manufacturer Certificate** guarantees that retail packaging labels strictly display mandatory declarations: Manufacturer/Importer Name & Address, Country of Origin (for imports), Common Generic Product Name, Net Quantity (in standard units), Month & Year of Packing/Import, Maximum Retail Price (MRP inclusive of all taxes), and Consumer Care details.
