Unlike new car exports, there are currently no large national export tax rebates for used cars in China. Therefore, our FOB price is purely the vehicle's residual value plus compliant operating costs, leaving no room for price wars using subsidies.

Use credit check apps (like Check Doctor or Ant Queen) to pull the complete accident record.

Beyond the FOB price, expect: ocean freight (typically $800–2,500 depending on destination), marine insurance (about 0.3–0.5% of the car's value), port handling charges at both ends, customs duty and import tax/VAT in your country, compliance or homologation certification, and inland delivery to your city. Add currency transfer fees and the inspection fee if you hire a third party. Ask the exporter for a landed-cost breakdown and confirm exactly what the quote includes. A cheap FOB price with everything else shifted to you can add 30–50% to the real total. Budget a 15% buffer on top of the estimate, and get fixed quotes for freight and insurance in writing before paying the balance.
