Labeling compliance for imported packaged goods requires prior permission before clearance; non-compliance may trigger customs action. Importers must declare compliance with the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011 and, where conditions are unmet, obtain written permission from the AC/DC (Import Shed) to label imported goods before registration of the bill of entry. The AC/DC will instruct shed officers to verify labeling compliance prior to clearance. This uniform procedure applies to all goods under the referenced DGFT notification irrespective of levy or claimed notification benefits, and failure to follow it may result in action including penalties under the Customs Act, 1962.
