\n

On 13-2-2026, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution notified the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Amendment Rules, 2026<\/span>, with the aim of enhancing transparency for consumers purchasing goods on e-commerce platforms.<\/p>\n

This amended provision will come into force on 1-7-2026.<\/p>\n

Key Points:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    This Amendment updates the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011<\/a><\/span>, that sets out the declarations and labelling requirements for packaged commodities sold in India.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    It introduces Rule 6(10A), requiring every e-commerce entity selling imported products<\/span> to:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Display such products through a searchable filter, and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Provide a sortable filter based on the country of origin<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      The amendment ensures that country-of-origin filters for imported products<\/span> become a standard feature across e-commerce listings, strengthening consumer transparency.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      ‘Country-of-origin<\/span>’ details often influence consumer choices related to quality, brand preference, and geopolitical considerations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      According to Rule 2(bd), Rule 2(be), and Rule 2(bf) of the 2011 Rules, the amendment applies to all major categories of e-commerce platforms, including:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Marketplace-based platforms<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Inventory-based e-commerce entities<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Foreign e-commerce companies operating in India<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Direct-to-consumer brands selling imported goods online<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Following the amendment, the e-commerce entities will now need to:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          Identify imported products separately to apply Rule 6(10A).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Add a clear ‘country-of-origin<\/span>’ field for imported items.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Enable search and sort filters based on country of origin.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Align backend product data with front end filters to ensure discoverability.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Update existing listings before 1-7-2026.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          This requirement strengthens consumer transparency by making the country of origin of imported goods sold through e-commerce platforms<\/span> easier to locate and assess through country-of-origin filters for imported products.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
