Regulatory

Several categories of products are subject to Health regulations, requiring evaluation and consent of a Regulatory Agency, which in Brazil is ANVISA (National Health Surveillance Agency). The company that wants to import or manufacture, distribute, store, process and sell such products needs to obtain a license to operate. ANVISA regulates Medicines, Cannabis Products, Cosmetics, Medical Devices, Food Supplements, Blood Derivatives, Cells and Tissues, among others.
