Import my rabbit and bird into Brazil without a single form error

Emigrating with a cat was easy; the rabbit and bird were not. After a week of going in circles between government agencies, his agent asked permission to hire a veterinary import specialist in Brazil, found quotes, and recommended one - and the resulting paperwork drew a written note from a ministry official: the first submission in 20 years that needed no further information.

How it works

  1. Agent works the pet-import requirements across agencies for a week
  2. Hits the wall and asks to recruit a veterinary import specialist
  3. Finds quotes and recommends one
  4. Owner approves and pays
  5. Forms submitted flawlessly, confirmed in writing by a ministry official

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent's smartest move was knowing when to stop being an agent: it recruited and briefed a human specialist, then produced the first error-free filing a ministry official had seen in 20 years.
