The thresholds for entering different national markets vary, especially in the food industry. As an economic powerhouse in South America, Brazils unique DIPOA certification is an essential pass for export enterprises of animal - derived products that want to enter the Brazilian market. Understanding and mastering the process and requirements of DIPOA certification is crucial for ensuring the smooth progress of export activities.

DIPOA, namely the Brazilian Animal Product Inspection Agency, is an important department under the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA), responsible for the quality and safety inspection of animal - derived products. This certification process is designed to ensure that animal - derived products exported to Brazil meet local health, safety and quality standards. For export enterprises, understanding and following DIPOA regulations is the key to the smooth entry of products.

Self - preparation stage of the manufacturing enterprise
Before applying for DIPOA certification, the manufacturing enterprise first needs to have a detailed understanding of Brazilian official regulations and label requirements. This includes production and export plans for specific categories of aquatic products, as well as communication and coordination with Brazilian customers and consulting companies. The enterprise must develop corresponding processing procedures and techniques according to these regulations and requirements.

Online declaration stage
Next, the enterprise needs to use Portuguese to declare in the Brazilian PGA declaration system. This step requires the enterprise to fill in all necessary information accurately and ensure its consistency with Brazilian regulations.

Official review and approval
Brazilian DIPOA officials will review the submitted materials through the declaration system. If the review is passed, the certification will be approved; if it does not meet the requirements, it will be rejected. It is worth noting that the validity period of the certification materials is 10 years.

The maintenance work after obtaining DIPOA certification is equally important. The enterprise must adjust the approved certification materials in a timely manner according to the updates of Brazilian regulations. During the production process, the enterprise needs to produce strictly in accordance with the declared certification terms. If there are changes in product specifications, techniques or labels, re - certification is required.

In addition, there is another application approach. This involves the competent department of the exporting country submitting relevant information of the export enterprise to Brazils SDA and DIPOA through diplomatic channels. Enterprises can apply in the China Export Food Manufacturing Enterprise Filing Management System, and detailed requirements and details can be found in Brazils Registration Requirements for Overseas Manufacturing Enterprises of Animal - derived Food.
