Forwarding agent

Each forwarding agent address is considered a different legal entity and should be identified as either a company or an individual.

Brazil specifics

Each forwarding agent address identified as a company should have the registration numbers, CNPJ, state number, and municipal number. Forwarding agents identified as an individual have a CPF as the registration number.

The CNPJ is a 14 character field and has to be validated according to a mathematical algorithm. The CPF also has to be validated according to a mathematical algorithm.

When delivering goods, the forwarding agent used should be displayed on the Brazilian e-invoice.
