Legal Metrology registration

[Asked by Guest]

The legal metrology act 2009 section 19 states that :

Sec. 19 provides that no person shall import any weight or measure unless he is registered with the director in such manner and on payment of such fees, as may be prescribed.

I want to import "load cell". Does the "Load cell" is weight or measure ?

Do I need to register under under section 19 for import of "load cells" ?

Please Guide on above issue.

Load cell will not amount to either weight or measure.

AI Summary

Import registration for weights or measures: load cells do not qualify, so registration not required.
Section 19 prohibits importing any weight or measure unless the importer is registered with the director and pays prescribed fees. The operative determination states that a load cell does not amount to either a weight or a measure for these purposes, and therefore the import-registration requirement and associated fee obligation under section 19 do not apply to load cells.
