To register pesticides at mapa definitively, it is first necessary to go through the process of the Temporary Special Registration.
The RET allows the manufacture, import, formulation and use of pesticides in specific quantities for study and research purposes, conducted in Brazil.

What are the types of definitive pesticide registrations at MAPA?
In the process of registering pesticides at MAPA, there are 3 types of definitive registration. They are:
I - Technical Product: is considered a raw material for the manufacture of the formulated product;
II - Premixtures: are preparations of the technical product, which allow its transport or formulation in different manufacturing establishments;
III - Formulated product: final product, used in the agricultural environment for pest control.
There are also the "clone products".
They are formulated pesticides, belonging to the same registrant company, differing only in as to the trademark of an already registered pesticide.
Clone products are typically from the same company. However, if there is a Data Use Authorization Letter, identical products can be registered by different companies.
