1. Information for Exporters on Label Registration: Brazil requires that labels be registered before exports can be certified by FSIS. Exporting establishments are responsible for obtaining the label registration from the Government of Brazil. FSIS is not responsible for label registration with the Government of Brazil – either the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply (MAPA) and/or the Department of Animal Origin Products (DIPOA). However, documentation of the label registration with MAPA/DIPOA must be provided to and verified by FSIS personnel and the label registration number must be included on the FSIS Beef, Beef Products, and Offals letterhead certificate (LHC) which is required as part of export certification.
2. Requests for label registration can only be submitted by establishments who are already included on the Eligible Establishment List for Brazil. Instructions on how to obtain establishment registration are included below in the “Establishments Eligible to Export” section of this Export Library. Once an establishment is registered with the Government of Brazil, label registration is obtained by the establishment. The establishment must complete the label registration in the Government of Brazil’s electronic system (which is in Portuguese) in order to obtain the registration. Please see the attached label template.

3. If requested, USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) in Brasilia, Brazil can facilitate the label registration process. Please contact FAS at: 
   
   E-mail: AgBrasilia@usda.gov

   Note: FAS Brasilia’s role in the label registration process is to pass information and assist the U.S. exporter in accessing the MAPA/DIPOA system. FAS Brasilia will not copy or keep a file or record of the information sent to the MAPA/DIPOA by the U.S. exporter for label registration purposes.

4. The importer based in Brazil may also be able to provide assistance to the U.S.-based exporter in preparing the required form(s) and label(s) in Portuguese. Please contact your Brazil-based importer for assistance with Portuguese.
5. Brazil’s label registration process may take several weeks to complete. Once the Government of Brazil (MAPA/DIPOA) makes a decision about the label registration application, the electronic system will send an e-mail to the U.S.-based exporter and the process is complete.
6. Finally, please retain all documentation regarding Brazil’s label registration at your establishment as it will be required to be viewed by FSIS personnel to complete export certification.
