Question 1

How do I get a price quote for a used car from China?

Accepted Answer

Message us on WhatsApp with the brand, model and destination country, and we reply with an FOB price range within 24 hours. If you want the full landed cost including duty and freight, tell us your country and we will include a CIF estimate as well.You can also use the inquiry form on any model page — we respond to every submission personally, not with an automated price sheet.

Question 2

What is the difference between FOB and CIF pricing?

Accepted Answer

FOB (Free On Board) is the price of the vehicle loaded onto the ship at the Chinese export port — it does not include ocean freight, insurance, or destination-country duty.CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) adds shipping and insurance to the FOB price, giving you a number closer to what the car costs when it reaches your port — though import duty and local clearance fees are still calculated separately at that point.Every model page on this site shows an FOB range, and our country guides show estimated landed cost (FOB + duty + freight) for that destination.

Question 3

Are all the cars you export left-hand drive (LHD)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every vehicle we source and export is left-hand drive, ready for markets that require LHD without any steering conversion. We do not deal in right-hand-drive stock.

Question 4

What export documents are included with each shipment?

Accepted Answer

Every export includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. Where required by the destination country, we also prepare a pre-shipment inspection report and any additional customs paperwork your clearing agent requests.We coordinate directly with your import broker if you already have one, or can recommend a clearing agent in markets we ship to regularly.

Question 5

How long does shipping take from China?

Accepted Answer

Ocean freight transit time depends on your destination port — as a rough guide, Southeast Asia and the Middle East run 2-4 weeks, Africa and Latin America typically 4-6 weeks, and landlocked destinations reached via a neighboring port (like Ethiopia via Djibouti) add extra time for inland transport.We confirm an exact transit estimate for your specific port when we send your quote.

Question 6

Can I inspect the car before it ships?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can send detailed photos and video of the actual unit before it is loaded, and for larger or repeat orders we can arrange a third-party pre-shipment inspection report. Tell us what level of inspection you need when you request a quote.

Question 7

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept bank wire transfer (T/T) for all orders. For larger orders we typically work on a deposit plus balance-before-shipment structure — we will confirm exact terms once your order and destination are finalized.

Question 8

Do you handle customs clearance in my country?

Accepted Answer

We handle everything on the China export side — documentation, loading, and bill of lading. Clearance in your country is normally handled by your own import broker or clearing agent, since local requirements vary by country. If you do not have one, we can recommend an agent in markets we ship to frequently.

Question 9

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Accepted Answer

No — we ship single units as well as full containers. Bulk and dealer orders (5+ units) qualify for tiered FOB pricing and can share container space to reduce per-unit freight cost.

Question 10

What if the car I want does not meet my country's import age limit?

Accepted Answer

We screen the manufacture year against your country's age limit before you pay a deposit — if a specific unit will not clear customs, we tell you upfront and suggest a newer model year or an alternative model that fits within the limit. Check our country import guides for the exact age limit and duty rate for your market.

Question 11

Can multiple vehicles share one container to save on freight?

Accepted Answer

Yes — for buyers ordering 2-4 units, we can consolidate vehicles into a single container to reduce the per-unit freight cost compared to shipping each car separately. Tell us your target models and destination and we will quote consolidated freight alongside the FOB price.

Question 12
