International wire transfers generally follow "shared (SHA)" or "sender pays all (OUR)" principles. To ensure we receive the full remaining payment to release the bill of lading, we require all buyers to choose the "OUR" option when remitting, covering all intermediary bank fees.
Our technical report will read the environmental information from the vehicle's factory-issued documentation (including certifications like National V, National VI, etc.). You need to submit the specific emission limit data we provide (such as grams of CO, THC, NOx emissions) to your country's environmental or customs authorities for compliance comparison.
Yes, consolidation is common and can cut freight cost per car significantly, especially for shared purchases or small-volume importers. How it works: 1. A 40ft high-cube container typically fits 2-4 cars depending on size and loading method (standard loading vs. specialized racking that allows 4+ cars). Confirm the loading plan with your forwarder in writing. 2. Cars are secured with wheel chocks, straps, and padded braces. Professional loading with photos before the doors close is essential — request a photo report for insurance purposes. 3. One container means one bill of lading and one customs entry, but each car still needs its own invoice, export documents, and destination customs declaration. Things to watch: - Liability: if one car shifts and damages another in transit, insurance claims get complicated. Take out proper cargo insurance covering both vehicles. - Timing: all cars in the container must be ready at the same port at the same time, or you pay storage fees. - For EVs, check the shipping line's battery and state-of-charge rules — they may limit how many EVs go in one box. For a single car, RoRo or a 20ft container is usually simpler; consolidation mainly pays off from 2+ cars.
