The LMPC certificate is required for any entity that deals with pre-packaged products. A LMPC certificate is required to create a level-playing field for businesses for pre-packaged goods.
The LMPC certificate is essential for businesses that deal with pre-packaged products for import. To obtain an LMPC certificate, an applicant needs to submit an application form to the Director of Legal Metrology. The next step for obtaining an LMPC certificate is documentation. In these processes, applicants need to submit pre-requisite documents either to the department office or online.
After completing the documentation process, the department will further verify your documents and grant approval to import the pre-packaged goods.
The penalty for an LMPC certificate can be imposed under the following conditions:
Case 1: If a business doesn’t comply with Legal Metrology Act and operates without LMPC certificate, the authority may confiscate your imported pre-packaged goods.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
