Shipping to Brazil? CPF – What You Need to Know
An article by shipsurance
Shipping to Brazil? You need to know about a new customs regulation.
Beginning this summer, all packages must be clearly labeled with the recipient’s name, address, and Cadastro de Pessoas Fisicas (or, for short, CPF) – their tax ID number. Without a CPF on the label, packages will be delayed in customs and could be returned to sender with a service charge levied.
Many eCommerce merchants are not yet collecting CPF numbers at the time of purchase, and this creates headaches for everyone involved in getting the package delivered – especially the customer.
