1) You will need to obtain an export permit from the authorities in your country which will be sent to your vet 10 days prior to export. You will need to use an LVI vet (local veterinary inspector) most vet practices have at least one.

2) You will need to apply for an import permit from the Department of Exports & Imports of the Central Bank Of Brazil, Rio Do Janerio. If the pet is traveling as excess baggage then they don’t require an import permit.

3) Pets travelling for non-commercial purposes can land at any international airport but if they are entering for a commercial purpose then they can only be landed Sao Paulo, Recife, Porto Alegre, Belem and Campinas.

4) Cats and dogs don’t need to be microchipped but we recommend it

5) Pets need to be vaccinated against rabies no less than 30 days but no more than 12 months prior to departure. A rabies vaccination certificate must be completed by the vet that administered the vaccine.

6) Your pet will need to be examined by your vet no more than 72 hours prior to export when the vet will fill in the export certificate.

7) You will need to notify the port inspection station in Brazil at least 24 hours prior to the pet’s arrival.

8) Once the export health certificate is completed it will need to be legalized (along with the rabies certificate) at BRAZILIAN CONSULATE.

Hi, What was written by Petventura is basically correct, let me tell you how I proceed when I import/travel with dogs from Belgium.
First you need a health certificate and rabies shots/ vacination delivered by a certified vet, with this document you need to have it validdated by the ministery of agfriculture, then the whole lot has to be translated by a certified translator, once this is done you can have it autenticated by a brazilian consulate or embassy and thats it (if the dogs are traveling with you, which is the best option), I only ever imported dogs via Sao Paulo, so I dont know if you have to inform prior to arrival in other aiports, but you will most probably clear customs in SP ?
any more info dont hesitate to mail me joedecoene@yahoo.com
