Coconut oil regularization at ANVISA
In the case of coconut oil for human use, it must be registered at the National Health Surveillance Agency. First, your company needs to be duly registered at ANVISA, and only then you can request the product registration.
Following the following steps:
1st Operating License (VISA)
The Operating License, issued by the Health Surveillance Agency (VISA), authorizes the operation of your company's activities, after verifying compliance with all the rules established by the RDC corresponding to the activity performed. It is the most judicious phase of the whole process.
In this process, it is up to the institution to adapt its physical structure to receive the inspection of a VISA’s inspection agent, who will evaluate the technical and operational conditions of the place, so that your establishment can function and lead you to the next step, which is the Company Operation Authorization.
2nd Company Operating Authorization (ANVISA)
The Company Operation Authorization (AFE) is one of the most important regulatory steps for the success of your business, and for this reason, it is necessary to have specialized technical support.
The Company Operating Authorization, better known as “AFE”, is an ANVISA’s permission for the company to carry out its activities. The document, which will be published in the Official Gazette (DOU), must be requested to start activities such as: manufacturing, distributing, storing, transporting, importing or exporting.
In this phase, petitions, documents verification, payment of fees, among others, take place. Each category requires specific documentation and it is very important to pay attention to the base documents, as the lack of these can result in instant rejection.
Obtaining the AFE indicates that the company operates in accordance with brazilian legislation and is able to operate throughout the national territory.
