Legal Metrology / LMPC Registration

Legal Metrology (LMPC) registration is a mandatory sectoral compliance for importers and manufacturers dealing in pre-packaged commodities or goods governed by weights and measures regulations in India. For EXIM businesses, LMPC is a pre-import statutory requirement—non-compliance results in customs detention, penalties, relabelling orders, or forced re-export.

At Kafka Consulting LLP, LMPC compliance is structured as a pre-shipment risk-control mechanism, ensuring your packaged goods are port-ready, label-compliant, and legally marketable in India.

LMPC compliance failures are among the top causes of port-level penalties. Our approach eliminates this risk before dispatch.
