It is the exporter's responsibility to ensure that the animal meets the importing country requirements.

Contact the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock in Brazil or the Embassy of Brazil in Canberra​ for information about the process required to import animals to Brazil from Australia.

You should take care to confirm the importing requirements at the time of export of the animal.​​​

Note

Where an importing country issues an import permit, the exporter must ensure the animal meets any requirements in the permit.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply defines “birds as pets” as “birds other than farmed birds of any of the existing orders and species, which are kept in captivity for various reasons and for non-commercial or production purposes in numbers of up to five (5) specimens and which are kept since birth or since at least sixty (60) days prior to their shipment to the Contracting States under the care of their owner at their home of origin. Birds intended for sport, falconry and biological control are excluded.” (Resolution/GMC No. 20/20, Article 8)

As importing country requirements may change without advice to the Department you should check the import permit and/or the country website carefully at the time of preparation for export.

Certifying officers must review the import permit(s), any conditions provided by the exporter and the country website to ensure that the issued document(s) are consistent with the permit(s).
