What mesh format are you using? In Gmsh, if you export using INRIA Medit (.mesh) format, you should automatically get the correct labels (as set in Gmsh). See [this](https://community.freefem.org/t/how-to-identify-the-boundary-label-for-an-import-mesh/161/3) post to verify the labels of your imported mesh.
