Background

As a global agricultural powerhouse and a key food importer, Brazil offers vast trade opportunities underpinned by a multifaceted regulatory system overseen by agencies like ANVISA and the Ministry of Agriculture. These entities enforce stringent registration, labeling, and sanitary standards for imported products, while overlapping roles and evolving requirements pose compliance challenges. Brazil’s participation in international agreements (e.g., MERCOSUR, WTO) further shapes its import framework, offering tax benefits and streamlined processes for informed exporters.

In this webinar, Gerardo Figueiredo Junior—founding partner of Zeigler Sociedade de Advogados and a specialist in Brazilian food law—will decode the food compliance landscape, equipping businesses to avoid common pitfalls and efficiently navigate Brazil’s dynamic market.
