Who this is for

Dealers and importers preparing a vehicle order from China. Use these points to ask specific questions about your selected vehicles.

Break the budget into four parts

Plan separately for the vehicle, the agreed China-side export services, sea freight and destination expenses. Ask for a written breakdown so you know which charges are already included and which are paid to another service provider.

Read the quoted delivery basis

Our catalog displays indicative FOB prices in US dollars. Confirm the final port, included services and current vehicle availability in your quotation. The website uses a fixed RMB conversion setting; the accepted invoice specifies the actual agreed currency and amount.

Budget for arrival

Ask your clearing agent for a destination estimate covering applicable duties, taxes, port handling, clearance and inland delivery. Request the assumptions behind that estimate. Costs can change with the vehicle and shipment, so leave a contingency in your budget.

Compare a single car with a combined load

A shared or full container can spread some freight costs across several vehicles. Compare the total cost per car, loading compatibility and waiting time. Request a fresh freight quotation rather than relying on a previous shipment’s price.
