The GOB has eliminated most import prohibitions with certain exceptions. In general, importation of used consumer goods is prohibited. Used capital goods are only allowed when a similar, locally produced item is not available - such as used aviation parts. Remanufactured goods are still considered used goods. 

Brazil does not import fresh or frozen poultry and poultry products from the United States as there is no equivalency of the inspection systems. Fresh or frozen and further processed pork products are not imported from the United States as there is no agreed upon health certificate. There is also specific legislation that prohibits the importation of products that the Brazilian regulatory agencies consider harmful to health, sanitation, national security interest, and the environment.
