Once a Medical device is registered with ANVISA and a shipment is headed for Brazil, the BRH must issue a notarized letter of authorization(cost $50) to the importer, which the importer uses to get a permit from ANVISA and to import the product through customs.
1. Is this 50 dollars a "fee" to ANVISA or it a service fee by the BRH?
2. What are the penalties for a shipment getting to Brazilian customs and the permit is not ready or hasn't been requested yet? Does the importer just have to wait 3-5 days for processing allowing the devices to be released?
Thanks.
