MAPA inspection required for most animal products

Details

Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA) requires declaration and inspection of animal products including meat, dairy, and eggs. Commercially processed and packaged products from approved origins may be permitted. Fresh meat from most countries is prohibited. Enforcement in Brazil carries fines from BRL 500 to BRL 50,000 under Decreto-Lei 37/1966; Regulamento Aduaneiro (Decreto 6.759/2009); Código Penal Art. 334 (typical personal cases are handled as civil infringements).
