Who holds the registration in Brazil
In Brazil the ANVISA registration is held by a Brazilian Registration Holder (BRH). If the distributor is the BRH, it owns the registration; an independent holder lets you appoint and replace distributors under it.
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later. The Next 10 Markets report covers who holds the registration in each of your ten markets.
