Many chemical imports need an LI or LPCO licence through the Siscomex Portal Único before shipment, so ask your despachante to check the NCM code early. APIs require an ANVISA-authorised importer, and many must be linked to a product registration or a CADIFA assessment before use in registered medicines. Drug precursors need Polícia Federal licensing and prior import authorisation, and some substances are also controlled by the Army. Law 15.022/2024 is introducing a national industrial chemicals inventory, with obligations phased in by regulation. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules. Request the PTA certificate of origin for preferential duty.
