Brazil’s Tax Administration knows the importance of valid product identification

Calculating the right tax rate to apply to products is a complex affair for SEFAZ, the tax administration for Brazil’s states. To do it accurately, they need to know exactly what each product on an invoice is.

SEFAZ uses GS1 Brazil’s Verified by GS1 database to authenticate Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) on the e-invoices they manage, demonstrating yet again that trust and efficiency start with a valid ID.
