Question 1

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 2

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 3

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 4

What is the used car import process in Peru?

Accepted Answer

Importing a used car to Peru starts with confirming the vehicle is no older than 5 years (the import age limit) and that it is left-hand drive. Duty is 9%, applied through the port of Callao near Lima.The process runs in four steps: (1) we prepare the export documents and ship the car; (2) the vehicle clears customs in Callao against the invoice, bill of lading and certificate of origin; (3) you pay the 9% duty plus VAT; and (4) you register the vehicle with Peruvian authorities. You can complete most of steps 3 and 4 through a local customs agent.Our Peru used car import guide covers the required documents in detail. If you want the full landed cost before you commit, request a quote with your target model and year.

Question 5

What are the used car import rules in Angola?

Accepted Answer

Angola is a growing market for Chinese used cars, but it operates a restricted import regime with high duty. There is no strict age limit, yet the effective cost of importing depends heavily on vehicle category and the duty applied at the port of Luanda.Because rules and duty rates have shifted in recent years, the reliable path is to confirm the current treatment for your exact model before ordering. We prepare a full FOB quotation and a CIF estimate including freight and estimated duty, so you know the landed cost picture before you commit.See our Angola used car import guide for what applies today, and request a quote with your target model to get the exact figures.

Question 6

Can I import used cars to Mozambique?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Mozambique allows used car imports with no import age limit, which makes it an accessible market in Southern Africa. Duty is in the range of 20% or more depending on the vehicle, and clearance runs through the port of Maputo.Since there is no age cap, buyers have flexibility on the model year, but a newer vehicle generally means lower maintenance risk and a better resale position. Mozambique is left-hand drive, matching our export stock.Our Mozambique used car import guide lists the documents and steps. For an exact FOB and CIF estimate on a specific model, request a quote.

Question 7

What are Kazakhstan's used car import rules?

Accepted Answer

Kazakhstan applies the EAEU unified tariff, with no import age limit on used cars — a big advantage for exporters because the model year does not restrict you. Vehicles clear through Almaty or Astana, with the most popular shipping route being rail from China.Since there is no age cap, buyers can choose between budget older stock and newer low-mileage models purely on economics. Left-hand drive is the standard and matches our stock.We handle FOB pricing and can arrange rail or combined sea-rail routing to Kazakhstan. See the Kazakhstan used car import guide for the tariff structure, or request a quote on your target model.

Question 8

Can I import used cars to Uzbekistan?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Uzbekistan permits used car imports with no import age limit. The cost structure combines an excise tax plus roughly 30% customs, and the most common routing is by rail to Tashkent.The absence of an age cap makes Uzbekistan flexible on model year, though newer vehicles typically clear more smoothly and hold value better in the local market. Duty and excise are calculated on the vehicle's assessed value, so we recommend asking for a CIF estimate rather than guessing from the FOB price alone.Our Uzbekistan used car import guide explains the breakdown. For a concrete FOB and CIF figure on a specific car, request a quote.

Question 9

What are the used car import regulations in Iraq?

Accepted Answer

Iraq is one of the strongest demand markets for Chinese used cars in the Middle East. Used vehicles must be no older than 5 years, duty varies by category, and clearance is handled through the port of Umm Qasr. The market is left-hand drive.Because the duty rate varies, the landed cost really depends on the exact model, year and engine size. We confirm the applicable figures for your target vehicle before you order and provide an FOB price within 24 hours, with a CIF estimate on request.See our Iraq used car import guide for the current picture, and request a quote on the specific model you want to import.

Question 10

What documents are needed to import a used car to Egypt?

Accepted Answer

Importing a used car to Egypt requires a tight document set because the market is strictly regulated. Used cars must be no older than 3 years and duty is 40% or more, with clearance through Alexandria or Port Said.The core documents we provide with every shipment are the commercial invoice, bill of lading, certificate of origin and export certificate. For Egypt specifically you will also need the registration and import approval documents handled at clearance. Our export document checklist explains each one.Because of the 3-year age cap, we always confirm a vehicle's age before quoting. See the Egypt import guide or request a quote on a model you are considering.

Question 11

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 12

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 13

How much does it cost to ship a used car from China to Russia?

Accepted Answer

Shipping cost from China to Russia depends mainly on the destination port and the vehicle size. The two main routes are Vladivostok in the Far East (RoRo or container) and St. Petersburg in the west, with the Far East route being the shorter and cheaper option.As a rule of thumb, expect the Far East route to be the economical choice for buyers in the eastern half of Russia, while western buyers should compare against the cost of moving the car onward by rail from Vladivostok. A recycling fee also applies on import in Russia.We quote freight by route and vehicle, and can give a CIF total including the estimated recycling fee. See our Russia import guide or request a quote with your destination city for a concrete number.
