What is a battery SOH certificate and why does it matter when buying a used EV from China?

SOH (State of Health) measures the battery's remaining capacity as a percentage of its original capacity. Two EVs with the same mileage can have very different SOH depending on charging habits and climate exposure, and since the battery represents 30-50% of a used EV's value, the SOH number is effectively the real price tag. A proper certificate includes current SOH percentage, cell voltage balance, charge cycle counts, battery management system fault codes, and often a projected range estimate. In hot-climate markets like the Gulf, a degraded battery degrades even faster, so a documented SOH above 85-90% is strongly recommended. Exporters who provide verified SOH certificates close deals faster and command better prices, so treat the certificate as a core purchase document, not an extra.

If our country has a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with China, can you provide a specific certificate of origin?

Yes. We will apply to customs or the trade promotion agency for a specific version of the certificate of origin (such as ASEAN Form E, China-ASEAN FTA certificate, etc.) to assist you in legally enjoying significant or even zero tariff treatment at the destination port.

How long does it usually take from when I pay the full amount to when the vehicle is loaded at the port in China?

Under normal circumstances, it takes 15 to 25 working days. This includes: domestic transfer of ownership (3-5 days), applying for an export license (3-5 days), inland trucking to the port (2-5 days), customs inspection and waiting for loading schedule (5-10 days). Do not trust false promises from other channels claiming 'loading within a week.'
