LMPC Registration for Importers
Legal Metrology registration and labeling compliance for pre-packaged imported goods — so declarations are correct before cargo reaches the shelf.
Correct labeling, confirmed before import
Pre-packaged goods imported into India generally need to carry mandatory declarations — MRP, net quantity, country of origin, manufacturer and importer details — under the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, and the importer typically needs to register as a Legal Metrology Packaged Commodities (LMPC) importer. Ocean Sky Logistics helps confirm labeling requirements and coordinates the registration process.

Frequently asked questions
Pre-packaged commodities intended for retail sale generally need compliance; industrial, institutional and bulk packages often have different or exempt treatment — we check which applies to your product.
In many cases, re-labeling or stickering with the correct declarations is possible at a bonded facility before clearance — we coordinate this where needed.
Registration is generally done once per importer and then applies across your pre-packaged imports, subject to renewal and compliance with each shipment's labeling.
