Importing Pets: how it works in Brazil — first-hand
Short answer
Brazil does not require rabies antibody titer tests for pets arriving from Russia. Essential documents include a valid rabies vaccination certificate, a veterinary passport, and official health certificates obtained through state clinics and customs authorities.
From real experience
For importing a dog from Russia to Brazil, recent traveler experience suggests that rabies titer tests are often not explicitly required or checked by Brazilian customs or veterinary control.
Essential requirements include:
1. Rabies vaccination (preferably with an imported vaccine) administered at least 30 days before entry.
2. A veterinary certificate from a state clinic in Moscow (can be obtained via Mos.ru).
3. An international veterinary certificate obtained at the departure airport (e.g., Domodedovo) shortly before the flight.
Airlines may have additional requirements for pet transport (e.g., pet in cabin).
