Roma Andrade – Official Broker and Customs Representative specializes in customs clearance of medicines in transit for import and / or export given his experience in the requirements of customs with respect to a set of INFARMED control rules.

The importation of medicines by companies operating in the health sector is only authorized if the importer is an authorized laboratory. In this case, for importation, the AIM – Marketing Introduction Authorization for the medicine requested from INFARMED is required.

Blood Samples

The import of blood samples does not require authorization from INFARMED, if they are intended for laboratory tests. Otherwise, INFARMED authorization will be required, which must be requested and provided by the importer.

E-commerce of medicines

If the importer is a private individual, import is prohibited. Despite this determination, there is now a great demand for medicines on the Internet that are purchased in online shopping (E-Commerce) by individuals.

However, there are some exceptional situations, such as in the case of a drug being imported based on a medical prescription for personal use.

In exceptional situations, we advocate obtaining, in advance, from an Official Broker / Customs Representative, the necessary documentation to clear the medication.
