How to import cars directly from China
Guidelines
We know that China's new energy vehicles are beautiful and cheap, and we now export cars directly from the domestic market in China. We are one of the few government-approved car export pilot enterprises that have been able to export cars (including new and used cars) since 2019. If you want to purchase a car directly from China through authorized and reliable channels, and enjoy the same domestic car prices as Chinese buyers, our company is your choice. However, we can let you know that China has opened up the parallel export channel since 2019, and we have taken the lead in obtaining the export qualification for passenger cars. Before that, we have been deeply engaged in the field of semi-trailer export for more than ten years and have more professional services.
