How we export vehicles from China

A practical briefing for importers and dealers: trade terms, payment, lead times, shipping and the documents you need to clear customs in your market.

Trade terms

Quotations are FOB Shanghai or Nansha (primary). C&F and CIF available on request. Prices are valid 7 days and confirmed per model, quantity and destination port.

Payment

T/T: 30% deposit with the balance paid before shipment. First-time buyers trade on T/T only; L/C at sight available for established partners.

Minimum order

Stock units can ship from a single vehicle. Factory orders usually start at one container (about 3–4 units); mixed loading is possible with human confirmation.

Lead time

Jetour 45–60 days; other Chinese brands 30–40 days; non-Chinese brands built in China 20–30 days. These are production / export-handling lead times, not sea transit.

Shipping

RoRo, container and bulk options. Sea transit to Latin America is roughly 45–60 days; to Africa and the Middle East shorter. Transit is quoted separately.

Documentation

We supply the export documentation package — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and conformity certificates — and coordinate with your local certification body.

Three regions we serve

Africa (WVTA and destination-specific homologation support), the Middle East (GCC certification and LHD/RHD configuration per market), and Latin America (Spanish-language support and 45–60 day sea transit).
