Livestock Inputs

Manufacturers of animal feedingstuffs that are correctly registered in the Ministry of Agriculture may request, of agency of the Federal Superintendent’s Office for of Agriculture (SFA) that is responsible for livestock inputs in the state having jurisdiction over the establishment, the certification of their products for export.

The Ministry has export certificates that have been agreed upon with the following countries: Argentina, Aruba, Belarus, Belize, Bolivia, Brunei, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Curaçao, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, European Community, Georgia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Israel, Jamaica, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Ukraine, Uruguay and Venezuela.

In addition to the health requirements, the European Union countries and Russia also require inclusion on a list of companies eligible to export.

 When the specific requirements of the country of destination are unknown, exporters may use a standard certificate template that is available. This type of certificate is issued by MAPA and its acceptance by the importing country is the responsibility of the exporting company.

 The government agency responsible for livestock inputs in the states will issue a National Health Certificate that must accompany the consignment to the exit points of the country. The Agriculture Surveillance Service (SVA) and the Agricultural Surveillance Units (UVAGROs) at ports, airports, border inspection posts and special customs are responsible for issuing the International Health Certificate that will be sent with the products to their final destination.

 For companies that intend to export to countries with which Brazil has not yet agreed upon a certificate, a consultation about the health requirements and compliance is performed via SRI/MAPA. Where there are specific requirements, Brazil will prepare and propose a health certificate template to the importing country. This certificate is negotiated between the health authorities.

 Companies interested in exporting their products must fully comply with the national standards and specific requirements of the importing country, THE REQUEST FOR EXPORT PERMITS MUST BE MADE TO THE AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INSPECTION IN THE SFA/MAPA HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE COMPANY.
