Case: food import into Brazil

The situation

An Italian producer of premium food products (olive oil, cheeses, wine) wanted to start selling in Brazil with no local entity and no read on Brazilian regulation. Food imports add ANVISA product registration, MAPA/VIGIAGRO requirements and RADAR import licensing on top of company formation.

What we did

• Registered a Brazilian company (LTDA) with a suitable tax structure.
• Obtained RADAR importer registration and opened currency accounts.
• Registered the products with ANVISA and obtained MAPA permits for food imports.
• Organised temperature-controlled logistics and customs clearance.
