Yes. Third-party service providers in logistics, inspection, customs clearance, and finance can join the platform as "service providers."

It's extremely difficult. Unauthorized modifications can lead to module current overload protection, resulting in a lock. In China, you need to use the factory online engineer account to reprogram it. It's basically impossible to perform online decoding overseas. We strongly warn against blindly modifying the electrical systems of modern integrated circuit vehicles.

The industry-standard structure protects both sides. Pay 20-30% deposit after signing the contract and verifying the exporter's license—never more. The balance is paid only after your independent inspection report confirms the car matches the contract, ideally against a copy of the bill of lading so the exporter can't ship a different vehicle. For extra protection, tie payments to milestones: deposit on contract, second tranche after inspection passes, final payment when shipping documents are released. Some buyers use escrow services or trade assurance platforms for the first transaction with a new supplier; fees run 1-3% but are worth it for large amounts. Always pay to a corporate bank account matching the exporter's registered name. Keep every agreement in the written contract—verbal promises like 'we'll fix that before shipping' are unenforceable. If an exporter demands 50%+ upfront or full payment before inspection, walk away; that structure leaves you with no leverage.
