LMPC Certificate
What is an LMPC Certificate and Why Do You Need One?
The Legal Metrology Packaged Commodities (LMPC) Certificate is a mandatory requirement for businesses importing or selling pre-packaged goods in India. Issued by the Department of Legal Metrology, this certification ensures your products comply with India’s packaging and labeling standards under the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011.
At Grant Tech Solutions, we’ve helped hundreds of businesses navigate the complex LMPC certification process, ensuring they can legally import and sell their packaged goods without delays or penalties.
Do You Need an LMPC Certificate? Check This List
You need an LMPC certificate if you are:
Importing any pre-packaged products into India
An e-commerce seller offering packaged goods (including on Amazon, Flipkart, or Meesho)
A manufacturer repackaging products for retail sale
A brand owner selling products under private labels
A distributor or trader dealing in pre-packaged items
Important: LMPC compliance is verified during customs clearance. Without this certificate, your shipments may be detained, leading to costly delays and potential penalties.

Electronics and accessories
Food and beverages
Cosmetics and personal care items
Toys and stationery

In simple terms, if your product comes in a package with a predetermined quantity, it likely requires LMPC certification.
