The National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA in Portuguese) informs the temporary suspension of the implementation schedule of the integration of its systems with the Single Foreign Trade Portal (Siscomex in Portuguese) for food imports, previously announced.

The decision was taken due to the identification of systemic inconsistencies in the integration flow and in the status of requests in the Single Portal. New dates for the implementation of the integration will be announced in due course.

During this period, the protocols already completed will continue to be analyzed by ANVISA, being the importer’s responsibility to monitor the final status of each LPCO (license, permit, certificate and other documents – Siscomex Single Portal module that allows requesting documents required for foreign trade operations).

In addition, it is recommended that food import processes be re-registered through the Solicita system, using the LPCO I00046 model, without integration with the Single Portal, in accordance with the guidelines of the LPCO Manual.
