Body components (structural/reinforcing/panels) have accident-related damage; passive safety devices are defective; vehicle performance (including three-electric system) is degraded or remains performance-limited after repairs.
Accident inspection: main structure damaged, reinforcing parts undamaged, panels damaged, hinges normal; engine bay: key mechanical components normal; exterior: 2 sheet metal repairs, 1 repaint; interior: most features normal, airbag inspection normal, seatbelts normal, dashboard normal, instrument check normal, lighting system normal; startup check: main components normal; onboard tools: none.
We use a calibrated high-precision paint thickness gauge to take multiple measurements on at least 13 metal surfaces of the entire vehicle. The original paint thickness of mainstream Chinese models typically ranges from 90μm to 150μm. If any area exceeds 200μm or even reaches over 500μm, we will directly conclude that the area has undergone bodywork and filler repair.
Before export, we perform a standard external wash and interior vacuuming to meet basic hygiene inspection requirements by customs. However, we do not engage in deceptive "refurbishments" (such as repainting large areas with cheap paint or using low-quality interior refurbishing agents) to preserve the vehicle's true physical condition for buyer assessment.
This is a macro policy minefield. Although used cars are rarely classified as dumping, if your single import quantity is too large and the declared price is significantly lower than local similar products, it can easily trigger an investigation by the tax bureau. We strongly recommend B2B buyers to break down shipments into smaller batches and use multiple invoices for customs clearance.
