Marking of Goods and Packages Special markings and labelling regulations apply to certain commodities such as foodstuffs, fruit, plants, poisons, drugs, ammunition and a wide range of consumer goods. The use of false trademarks and names on the labels of goods is strictly prohibited. All markings should be in indelible ink or paint directly on the container and not removable labels. Packages should, however, bear the consignee's mark, including port mark, and they should be numbered unless the contents of the packages can be readily identified without numbers. Nutritional labelling is compulsory on all packaged foods.
Strict rules require standard, metric-sized packages of food products.
