Brazil's Trade Regulations - Import Requirements and Documentation

Import Requirements and Documentation

Both U.S. exporters and Brazilian importers must register with the Foreign Trade Secretariat (SECEX), an organ of the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC). Depending on the product, Brazilian authorities may require more documentation. The Ministry of Health controls all products that may affect the human body, including pharmaceuticals, vitamins, cosmetics and medical equipment/devices. Such products can only be imported and sold in Brazil if the foreign company establishes a local Brazilian manufacturing unit or local office, or the foreign company appoints a Brazilian distributor who is authorized by the Brazilian authorities to import and distribute medical products. Such products must be registered with the Brazilian Ministry of Health. The registration process can sometimes be complex and/or time consuming.
