​​Registration of packaged goods or registration of manufacturers in India

What is a manufacturer's license or registration of packaged goods?

Rule 27 of the Legal Metrology Rules of 2011 states that a packer or manufacturer who also sells or distributes pre-packaged goods must apply for the registration of packaged goods.

Packaged commodity registration is the name for this process.

The person who makes or packs the product must fill out an application for packaged commodity registration within 90 days of the product's first pre-packaging.

What exactly is a pre-packaged good?

The law says that a "pre-packed commodity" is any good that is put into a package without the buyer being there. The package can be sealed or opened, but there are only a certain number of the products inside.

Declarations are required for registering a packaged good.

The manufacturer-packer certification must make the following statements:-

 1. The item's list price.

 2. The month in which it was created.

 3. The year it was made.

 4. The name of the company that created it.

 5. The number to call for customer service.

 6. Email ID.
