Chinese passenger cars produced after 2005 have fully transitioned to asbestos-free brake pads, clutch plates, and gaskets. However, for export to countries with strict regulations, buyers must pay for sampling and testing by a NATA-accredited laboratory before shipment, and obtain an asbestos-free certificate.
After receiving the final payment, we will send you the complete set of original customs clearance documents via DHL or FedEx, which typically includes: - Bill of Lading (B/L) - Commercial Invoice - Packing List - Certificate of Origin (CO) - Used Vehicle Export License issued by the Ministry of Commerce of China Note: If your local customs requires additional documents (such as VIN consistency certificate), please inform us in advance before shipping.
A proper pre-shipment inspection is more than photos — it is a documented technical examination covering four areas. 1. Structure: paint thickness readings across the body, weld inspection of pillars and chassis rails, rust assessment underneath. 2. Mechanical: engine compression or at least a cold-start video, transmission shifts through all gears, suspension noise test on uneven roads, brake pad and disc thickness measurements. 3. Electronics: full OBD diagnostic scan with printed fault codes, all lights, windows, AC, infotainment, and driver-assistance functions tested. 4. Documentation: VIN and engine number physically matched to the registration certificate, photos of the certificate itself. Insist on a written report with photos, measured values, and a clear pass/fail conclusion per section. Make final payment conditional on this report, not on the seller's word or showroom-condition photos.
