Legal Metrology: the application itself moves
Until now, importers had to apply on the Legal Metrology (LM) portal for the Certificate of Registration of Importer of Weight and Measures. The advisory of 28 September 2026 says CBIC has launched the Unified Application Dashboard for this certificate across India, and that filing the application on the LM portal will not be required from now onwards.
On the dashboard the importer can file the application, track its status, receive SMS and email alerts on status and action to be taken, reply to queries raised by LM officers, pay the fee and download the certificate.
MNRE and Coffee Board
For the MNRE’s Concessional Customs Duty Certificate, the dashboard is available with effect from 7 August 2026. For the Coffee Board’s Export Permit Certificate, it is available with effect from 27 July 2026. Users reach both through the Unified Dashboard for LPCOs under the SWIFT portal of ICEGATE to obtain the certificate; the features the two advisories list are live status tracking and view / download.
Compliance Repository
All three advisories mention a Compliance Repository in the SWIFT 2.0 module. Registered ICEGATE EXIM users can view there the NOCs and LPCOs issued by various agencies. The agencies are being onboarded in this digital repository in a phased manner.
What importers and exporters should do
- Importers of weights and measures: apply for the registration certificate on the SWIFT 2.0 dashboard on ICEGATE, not on the LM portal.
