After finishing the review and the inspection, Anvisa publishes its decision in the Official Journal (Diario Oficial da União - DOU), after which product’s commercialization can starts.

What is the size of the company?
Company size is the economic capacity of the company, determined according to its gross annual sales. The definition of company size does not allow changes at the time of registration of the company, being automatically registered by Anvisa as “Group I - Large”. If the company does not belong to the “Group I - Grande”, it is important to prove the size with Anvisa so that you can enjoy some discounts in the payment of the Sanitary Surveillance Inspection Fee (TFVS). In this sense, the company that has a different classification of “Group I - Large” must request the size change with Anvisa. See Table 2 below summarizes the Company Rating that is defined by its corresponding Annual Billing.
