FOB, CIF, and EXW basics
Buyers should understand what is included in each quotation term before comparing vehicle and shipping costs.
Shipping & Export Documents
Shipping and export documents for used cars from China
Shipping terms, document requirements, and export procedures vary by vehicle, destination country, and qualified export partner confirmation.
Port and method planning
Destination port, shipping route, roll-on/roll-off availability, and container options affect timing and cost.
Document confirmation
Export documents depend on vehicle status, destination rules, and qualified export partner review.
Basic trade terms
The right quotation format depends on how the buyer wants vehicle cost, origin handling, and shipping to be presented.
- EXW usually means the buyer considers vehicle cost before export and shipping services
- FOB usually focuses on cost up to loading at the China port
- CIF usually includes cost, insurance, and freight estimate to the destination port
Shipping method considerations
Used car shipping should be reviewed by route, vehicle type, port availability, and partner handling capability.
- Roll-on/roll-off may be suitable where routes and vehicle conditions allow
- Container shipping may be considered for some destinations or vehicle batches
- Destination port, transit time, insurance, and local import rules should be reviewed early
Export document review
Document requirements are not the same for every vehicle or destination country.
- Vehicle documents, export documents, and shipping documents require partner confirmation
- Destination-country requirements can affect whether a vehicle option is practical
- Qualified export service providers should handle export procedures and document review
