Yes, we can help — but let me be precise about what that means. As a direct exporter, not an agency, we handle everything on the China side: export declaration, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and the vehicle export licence. For clearance inside your country, we do not act as your licensed customs broker (that requires local registration and a local tax ID), but we provide the complete document package your broker needs, pre-validate it against your country's import rules, and can introduce you to vetted clearing agents we have shipped with before. In practice, roughly 80% of clearance delays come from documentation mismatches — VIN discrepancies, wrong HS code, missing conformity certificates — and that is exactly the part we control.

What exactly do you handle on the China export side?

Everything up to and including the moment the container or RoRo vessel leaves the port. That includes:

  • Export customs declaration filed under the correct HS code (typically 8703.23 / 8703.24 / 8703.80 depending on engine displacement and fuel type).
  • Certificate of Origin — Form E for ASEAN, Form B for general use, or a China–country FTA certificate where one exists, which can cut your import duty significantly.
  • Commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading issued in your company name, not ours, so you are the importer of record.
  • Vehicle export licence and, where required, the used-car export inspection report from a licensed Chinese inspection body.
  • Pre-shipment photos and VIN verification so what leaves China matches what your customs officer sees on paper.

We also handle the awkward cases: vehicles over 5 years old, salvage-title cars, and units requiring a radiation or asbestos-free declaration for markets like Australia and New Zealand.

What do I need to do on my side, and what can you do to make it easier?

You need three things: a local customs broker, an import licence or permit if your country requires one, and payment of duty and VAT. What we do to make that painless:

  • Document pre-check against your country's rules. Before we ship, we ask you for your country's import requirements and cross-check the VIN, engine number, model year, and emission standard. If your market bans Euro 4 vehicles, we tell you before you pay, not after the container arrives.
  • HS code and valuation guidance. We give you the exact HS code we declared on export so your broker files consistently. Mismatched HS codes between export and import are the single most common cause of customs holds.
  • Broker introductions. In markets where we ship regularly — Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, Chile, Peru, UAE, Kazakhstan, Russia, and parts of Southeast Asia — we can connect you with clearing agents who already know our document format.
  • Direct line to our export team. If your broker has a question at 2am your time, they can reach us on WhatsApp and get an answer the same day. No agency middleman slowing things down.

What are the limits of your help — and why does that matter?

We are honest about this because it protects you. We cannot:

  • Pay duty or VAT on your behalf.
  • Act as your customs broker or file your import declaration.
  • Guarantee clearance in a country where we have no shipping history.
  • Falsify invoices or under-declare value — we will not do it, and any exporter who offers to is putting your container at risk of seizure.

What we can do is make sure the China-side paperwork is bulletproof, give you a realistic landed-cost estimate before you commit, and stay reachable until your vehicle is released. That combination is why buyers in 40+ markets come back to us instead of going through a trading agency that disappears after the deposit clears.
