Recently, Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA) published the latest list of registered feed export enterprises. Jiangsu Abram Animal Health Technology Co., Ltd. has officially obtained the qualification to export pet food to Brazil, ranking among the first batch of only 38 domestic enterprises accredited with this certification. This achievement grants Abram the official market access permit to enter the Brazilian market and marks a pivotal breakthrough in the company’s international layout and Latin American market expansion.
The application for this overseas qualification posed rigorous challenges, featuring a tight schedule, stringent standards and high technical and regulatory barriers, representing a substantial compliance breakthrough. Throughout the whole process, the Regulatory Team of Abram’s Quality Department took the lead and advanced full-scale preparation work. Adhering to Brazil’s strict market access requirements and with the professional guidance and strong support from Jingjiang Customs, the team successfully completed all application and review procedures, fully demonstrating the company’s robust compliance management capabilities and reliable product quality system.
In-depth Regulatory Research to Break Market Access Barriers
Brazil enforces highly rigorous and detailed access regulations for imported pet food, with core regulatory documents issued exclusively in Portuguese. Language barriers and updated systemic regulatory requirements posed the biggest challenges at the initial application stage. Faced with these difficulties, the Regulatory Team responded rapidly and took proactive action. The team conducted in-depth research and interpretation of the latest MAPA regulations, sorting out core clauses based on rich industry compliance experience. Through online communication with Brazilian competent authorities and special consultations with Jingjiang Customs, the team precisely clarified registration procedures, application specifications and review priorities, defined core access requirements covering enterprise qualifications, production systems and inspection standards, and established a standardized and efficient application system to lay a solid foundation for subsequent progress.
Excellence-oriented Preparation to Solidify Application Foundation
Document preparation is the core and critical link of overseas market access review. Strictly aligned with official Brazilian standards, the Regulatory Team efficiently compiled, proofread and perfected a complete set of bilingual application documents in Chinese and English, covering enterprise qualifications, production technologies, HACCP management systems, raw material traceability lists and other core materials. In response to Brazil’s special regulatory requirements for workshop hygiene control and raw material safety management, the team collaborated with various business departments to conduct comprehensive inspections, rectify deficiencies and optimize details, ensuring all documents are fully compliant and precisely matched with local standards, which enabled smooth passage of the pre-review and recommendation by Jingjiang Customs.
Rapid Response and Efficient Execution to Complete Final Approval
During the final review stage, Brazilian authorities raised three supplementary document requirements. To ensure seamless application progress, all members of the Regulatory Team worked overtime to analyze review inquiries item by item, refine rectification plans, compile detailed explanations and complete supporting materials. The team fulfilled all supplementary requirements with high quality within merely two days and successfully passed the final official review, accomplishing this compliance breakthrough with outstanding execution efficiency.
The successful access to the Brazilian market serves as authoritative recognition of Abram’s standardized compliance management, premium production quality and rigorous quality control system. Moving forward, the Regulatory Team of the Quality Department will continuously monitor overseas regulatory updates, iteratively optimize the overseas market access compliance system in line with business development demands, and safeguard the company’s global expansion with professional compliance capabilities, supporting steady and sustainable international development.
