Plant

Brazilian legislation and the international agreements for the movement of plants, plant products, and agricultural inputs set forth the rules for quality assurance, safety, and compliance for these products as well as the assessment of the risk of the spread of pests and diseases. 

In Brazil, the inspection and checking upon entry of agricultural products and inputs are performed by the Ministry of Agriculture through its International Agricultural Surveillance System (VIGIAGRO). The phytosanitary, quality and identity requirements and procedures are specific to each type of product, including beverages, food, and agricultural inputs.

The Plant Health and Plant Quality tabs should both be consulted for information on the import of plants, plant parts, and plant food and products. For information on importation of beverages and agricultural inputs, refer to the specific tabs below.

If you are interested in importing Material for Scientific Research, you must know the procedures that are presented here, as well as Normative Instruction 52 of 01/12/2016. (both links only in Portuguese)
