  If no, describe, whenever possible, how and why it deviates from the 
international standard:  Brazilian MRLs are established based on scientif ic methodology 
consistent with international best practices. Countries usually set MRLs according to the 
Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) applicable to their region. Agricultural chemical use 
patterns differ between different production regions and countri es as pests, diseases and 
environmental factors vary. This means that Brazilian MRLs for agricultural chemicals in 
food may differ from Codex standards. However, when a product differs from Brazilian 
MRLs, but is in conformity to Codex standards, it may be  imported, provided that the risk 
assessment does not indicate an unacceptable risk to Brazilian consumers.
