We support direct importers, domestic manufacturers, third-party packers, and e-commerce aggregators with Rule 27 registration, MRP packaging label vetting, net quantity declarations, and ICEGATE customs clearance integration.

We manage express document audit, mandatory Rule 6 label verification, and seamless coordination with the Central Director of Legal Metrology, Krishi Bhawan, New Delhi.
Under Rule 27 of the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, every entity importing, manufacturing, or packaging pre-packaged commodities for retail sale or commercial distribution in India must register their business premises, trade details, and commodity inventory catalogue with the Director of Legal Metrology (Central Government, New Delhi) or the Controller of Legal Metrology of the respective State.
This statutory registration, universally known as the LMPC Certificate, is an obligatory customs clearance license. Indian Customs across all major seaports, air cargo complexes, and dry ports (ICDs) strictly require the LMPC Importer Registration number on the Bill of Entry via the ICEGATE EDI system. Consignments without this verification will not receive Out of Charge (OOC) customs release.
Equal Consultancy Services provides comprehensive statutory certification and regulatory compliance across all seaports, air cargo terminals, industrial corridors, and SEZs in India.
Mandatory certification for commercial importers clearing electronics, cosmetics, medical devices, toys, FMCG foods, chemicals, and hardware via Indian customs ports.
Filing of statutory declarations for domestic manufacturing facilities, packaging units, and bottling plants across all Indian states and Union Territories.

Detailed verification of MRP font height, net quantity declarations, country of origin, unit sale price (USP), date markings, and consumer grievance care details.
Central government statutory approval under Section 22 of the Legal Metrology Act for weighing instruments, balances, volumetric meters, and measuring equipment.
Fast liaison for corporate registered address shifts, addition of new warehouse or factory premises, partner/director changes, or expanding commodity classifications.
Indian Customs and state enforcement inspectors scrutinize pre-packaged commodity labels for statutory declarations before granting port clearance or retail distribution. Any omission or font non-conformity attracts compounding penalties or cargo detention under Section 36 of the Legal Metrology Act, 2009.
