Buying a bike in Brazil

Recently come back from 11 weeks riding round Brazil. We bought 2 bikes and then sold them at the end. Much cheaper than shipping your own. All you need is a CPF. If you want help then contact me. With the CPF you can buy the bike with all correct documents and then ride it anywhere in South America or even the world.

Sounds much like a Portuguese NIF or tax file number. In fact playing around with the form, the application is the same as the Portuguese application form/process.
Which makes me wonder with the Brazil/Portugal connection if you could use a NIF to get a bike
