Answers & Clarity

LMPC Certification — Frequently Asked Questions

Should I obtain LMPC Registration before my shipment arrives at Indian port?
Yes! Importers must ideally hold a valid Rule 27 LMPC certificate and ensure compliant pre-shipment labeling before goods land at Indian Customs to avoid demurrage charges and detention.
What is the validity of an LMPC Importer Certificate?
Central LMPC Importer Registration under Rule 27 generally carries long-term/perpetual validity unless there is a change in company name, directors, registered address, or warehouse addition (which requires amendment).
What mandatory declarations must appear on a pre-packaged commodity label?
Under Rule 6, packages must clearly declare: Name & Address of Manufacturer/Packer/Importer, Common/Generic Name, Net Quantity in standard SI units, Month & Year of Manufacture/Import, MRP (₹ inclusive of all taxes), Country of Origin (for imports), and Consumer Care phone/email/address.
Are industrial or institutional raw material packages exempt from LMPC?
Packages meant exclusively for industrial consumers or institutional consumers (bought directly for use in industry/service and not for retail sale) marked clearly as "Not for Retail Sale" may qualify for specific exemptions—our team verifies your exact HS code and buyer profile.
