Bringing a pet to Brazil: import rules
São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro receive most of Brazil's incoming pet relocations, corporate transferees, diplomatic postings, and returning Brazilian families. MAPA (Ministry of Agriculture) requires a vet-issued health certificate, microchip, rabies vaccination, and an import declaration. Quarantine is not typically enforced for compliant arrivals, and Guarulhos has matured handling pet cargo.
