How to buy

How to buy vehicles from China.

Start with your market, your models and your quantity. We turn that brief into a sourcing conversation you can act on.

Three things to start.

Your destination

Country and delivery port, if known.

Your vehicles

Model or vehicle type, new or used, and preferred version.

Your order

Quantity, budget and target delivery date.

Exact model, version, condition, quantity and currency.
China-side costs
Inland transport, export documentation and inspection, where included.
Shipping
Departure and destination ports, freight and insurance scope.
Destination costs

Before you send your inquiry.

Can I ask for a model that is not listed?+

Yes. The directory is a starting point. Send the model, configuration and quantity you want us to review.

Are the photos confirmed available stock?+

Directory photos illustrate model references. Ask Export Team to confirm the exact vehicle, current availability, condition and specification.

How long will my order take?+

Timing depends on vehicle availability, inspection, documents and the shipping route. Ask for an order-specific schedule in your quotation.

What about warranty and parts?+

Ask us to clarify the applicable warranty, parts and support arrangements for the specific vehicle and destination before ordering.

Tell us what your market needs.

A clear brief is the first step to a useful proposal.
