CPF refers to the abbreviation of "Cadastro de Pessoa Física", which means personal identification number. It is a unique identification number issued to Brazilian citizens and permanent residents by the National Tax Service under the Ministry of Economy of the Brazilian Federal Government. This number can be used in many ways, such as opening an account, applying for a credit card, getting a mobile phone, etc. For freight forwarders, CPF is also indispensable and important information.

Freight forwarders refer to middlemen who have solid professional knowledge and experience in import and export trade. They can usually represent cargo owners in matters related to the international transportation of goods. The role of CPF in freight transportation is mainly reflected in the fact that cargo owners must provide their formal CPF to complete the export declaration, customs declaration and other related procedures. Therefore, when carrying out transportation business between freight forwarders and cargo owners, it is particularly important to strengthen CPF cooperation and collaboration.

When freight forwarders conduct business, they need to ensure the standardization and compliance of internal management. If the freight forwarder accepts some black market goods and contains personal items in the goods, this is a non-compliant operation. An important factor that restricts freight forwarding compliance is the accuracy of CPF. Therefore, in addition to the understanding and mastery of logistics and transportation management, the necessary professional qualities for freight forwarders should also have the ability to distinguish the authenticity of CPF and reasonably manage CPF to ensure good compliance.
