Full 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.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Declare all meat products. Commercially packaged and sealed products have the best chance of acceptance.
