The original Chinese license plates are obscured to protect the previous owner's personal privacy, and also because the plates have been forcibly reclaimed by Chinese traffic management after the vehicle completed the "transfer pending export" registration. This serves as physical proof that the vehicle has legally and compliantly completed the upgrade.

Be sure to purchase cargo insurance (all-risk or water damage insurance). In case of damage, claim with the bill of lading, insurance policy, and proof of damage at the destination port.

No, it does not. International shipping (especially RoRo) usually takes 30 to 60 days, during which the vehicle is stationary. A dead 12V battery, natural tire pressure loss, and even wiper aging due to temperature differences are all reasonable physical wear during long-distance transport. We strongly recommend that overseas buyers bring a portable jump starter and an air pump when picking up their vehicles at the port.
