Pet Transport from Miami to São Paulo, Brazil
Relocating your pet from Miami to São Paulo is highly efficient due to the robust flight network between Miami International Airport (MIA) and Guarulhos International Airport (GRU). However, the move requires strict adherence to Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA) regulations.
Brazil Import Requirements
To ensure a smooth entry into Brazil without delays, your dog or cat must meet the following criteria:
- Microchip: An ISO 11784/11785 compliant microchip must be implanted prior to the rabies vaccination.
- Rabies Vaccination: Must be administered at least 21 days prior to travel if it is the pet’s first vaccine, and must be valid at the time of entry.
- Parasite Treatments: Broad-spectrum internal (deworming) and external (flea/tick) parasite treatments are required within 15 days of the International Health Certificate issuance.
- Veterinary Health Certificate (CVI): The certificate must be issued by a USDA-accredited veterinarian and subsequently endorsed by APHIS within 10 days of your pet’s arrival in Brazil.
Customs Clearance at GRU
Upon arrival at GRU in São Paulo, your pet must be cleared through Brazilian customs and MAPA.
- The clearance process requires presenting the original, USDA-endorsed CVI alongside the pet’s vaccination records.
- Due to language barriers and bureaucratic complexities, we utilize trusted local agents in São Paulo to handle the physical clearance process.
- Your pet will be safely retrieved from the cargo facility and either handed over to you at the airport or transported directly to your final destination in Brazil.
