Correios, the postal operator of Brazil, has informed Japan Post that customs inspection for mail items addressed to Brazil has been strengthened.

Therefore, there will be a greater risk that international mail items sent to Brazil with insufficient/inaccurate electronic advance data (EAD) or without the tax identification number or passport number of the addressee¹, information that is necessary for customs inspection in Brazil, may be delayed or returned to the sender.

Please use the International Mail My Page Service to ensure that correct EAD is sent.

1. There are two types of tax identification number for addressees.
   • "CPF" ("Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas") number for natural persons (format: 000.000.000-00).
   • "CNPJ" ("Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica") number for legal entities (format: 00.000.000/0000-00).
   If you do not know the tax identification number or passport number of the addressee, please ask your addressee to confirm the information. The number will be transmitted as EAD by entering it in the "TAX code/VAT number" field when creating a shipping label with the International Mail My Page Service.
   Please see here for how to enter the numbers.
