ANIMAL PRODUCTS TO BRAZIL
Brazil has announced that the requirement for health certificates/permits of animal products to be "consularized" no longer exists. This change means that a health certificate issued by the competent authority of the country of origin of the animal product is sufficient.
Brazil currently prohibits the importation of unprocessed (non-heat treated) poultry products from the United States. Exporters should have their importers verify that processed products containing poultry ingredients meet the requirements of the government of Brazil prior to export.
