How Regulatory Consulting With MAPA Can Speed Up The Export Process?

For Brazilian agribusiness companies, accessing international markets is a strategic step toward growth and revenue diversification. However, the complex regulatory requirements of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply (MAPA) can cause delays, cargo rejections, and even lost business opportunities. In this article, we explore how a specialized consulting firm eliminates these obstacles, ensuring agility, compliance, and competitiveness in exports.

Preliminary Diagnosis: Identifying Specific Requirements by Country

Each international destination has different health, documentation, and technical requirements. While South Korea requires specific certificates to import sesame seeds, Guatemala demands detailed reports for gelatin and collagen. Without this mapping, products are barred at ports.

How does consulting help?

  • Conducts market analyses to list mandatory documents (e.g., phytosanitary certificates, Sipeagro registrations);
  • Anticipates changes in international agreements, such as the 317 new markets opened to Brazilian agribusiness since 2023;
  • Prevents cargo returns, which cost up to 5x the freight value.

Acceleration of Documentation and Registration

Registration in the Sipeagro System is mandatory for exporting agricultural products, but errors in filling out the form can delay processes for months. In 2024, 30% of MAPA fines resulted from inconsistencies at this stage.

Solutions applied by consulting firms:

  • Preparation of the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Manual with technical specifications required by MAPA;
  • Management of License, Permit, and Certificate (LPCO) applications via the Siscomex Portal;
  • Preparation of the Single Export Declaration (DU-E) and Electronic Export Invoice.

Case study: Companies with advisory services reduce the time required to issue certificates from 365 days to an average of 4 to 6 months.

Compliance with International Standards (Incoterms and Beyond)

Incoterms define responsibilities between exporters and importers (freight, insurance, fees), but 45% of companies use incorrect terms, leading to conflicts and extra costs.

Role of the consultancy:

  • Selects the ideal Incoterms for each operation;
  • Applies benefits of trade agreements; 
  • Ensures compliance with rules of origin for access to tariff preferences.

Overcoming Sanitary and Phytosanitary Barriers

Markets such as the US and the European Union reject shipments with pesticide residues above the limit or without proven traceability. In 2024, Brazil had 142 notifications for health non-compliance.

Specialized consulting strategies:

  • Preliminary audits of factories and rural properties to adjust processes to the target country's standards;
  • Training in good agricultural and manufacturing practices;
  • Digitized traceability from origin to shipment.
