Brazil's New CPF Requirements: Adaptation Tips for Dropshippers

According to the Brazilian Government, from 2024, the CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas) will be the only general identification number in the country and will be required for various services, including taxation on international parcels. For dropshippers selling products to Brazil, customers must provide accurate CPF numbers, else risking failed deliveries.

Fortunately, the government has opened the CPF verification API to major e-commerce platforms including AliExpress. In the near future, AliExpress will most likely release an update regarding the mandate. From December, DSers will also take advantage of the official integration with AliExpress, employing the automatic CPF verification result directly to our users.

Note that the API might have limited capacity. Therefore, it will somehow impact your ordering experience on DSers and AliExpress. Let's delve in how you can best manage orders destined for Brazil and optimise your store accordingly.

Timeline Comparison

Here is a timeline that helps you understand the differences before and after the verification is effective.

Why Does This Matter to Dropshippers

As the government's CPF API is exclusively available for certain platforms like AliExpress, it's crucial for your store customers to provide the correct CPF information. When you place the order to AliExpress, verifying the CPF is a must. If the number doesn't match, the order won't proceed.

In such cases, you'll need to spend extra time and effort to contact the customer for the right CPF details and reorder to AliExpress. So it's important to optimise your storefront to make sure you can smoothly go through the CPF verification.

Tips to Navigate the Changes

Given the restrictions on individual merchants, it's highly recommended to prompt your customers to ensure that the CPF information aligns accurately with the recipient's details before placing an order. This proactive step helps avoid potential shipment delays or order failures.

Optimise Your Store Checkout Process

• Include a CPF information box in your store's checkout process. (following this guidance)
• Create a Confirmation Pop-up for customers to double-check CPF accuracy before finalizing the checkout process.

Tips for Solving Ordering Issues

• Expect slower order processing due to mandatory CPF verification. As mentioned earlier, it may cost an extra 5 seconds even more per order.
• Report orders taking longer than usual to DSers' customer support for immediate assistance, as the API integration is new and might be causing interruptions.
