Has anyone successfully exported a car to China? Has anyone successfully exported a car to China and actually got it on the road and legal there? If someone could let me know what the process is or where I could find information on this that would be great. Ie. The chinese website for their version of the RIV here in canada. I am not looking for brokers who I have to pay thousands to get this through; I'd like to figure this out myself so if other family ever wants to do it I can help. FYI: I am not a Chinese citizen. Thanks in advance. |

My friend has, not sure the procedures that were involved, but it consisted a lot of money. |
if it's strictly a foreign built foreign auto mobile there's a 110% or something ridiculous import tax on it. but the value of the car - you can totally bs your way out of that if you have "the connections". otherwise, ha-ha. |
I predict: Imminent FAIL |

A family friend of mine in HK used to export LHD Mercedes and BMW from Europe -> HK -> China back in the 90s. He said they had to go through a lot of depts and paid shit load of dirty money, nowaday the procedure has been standardized, at least in big cities, but varies at different ports. Your car might get impounded if you don't know your shit. That's how 7 of his BMW got seized and never got back. BTW, tax is close to 50% of what you paid for your car unless you can prove it's for your temp job in China, then it's tax free. There are quite a few good articles on Google, but you may only trust 75% of what they write, cause the local law changes quickly. BTW, used imports are not allowed in some provinces, as I know Shanghai is fine, but they will value the car as it is sold in Chinese market, like a car in Canada that is around 10K, they will tax you base on what it will sell in China like 30K.

Local law is "complicated". In other words, in order to import an old car into China you need to know the right people. Spoiler! |
I always hear stories from my friends who work in China and from family friends. In the 90s, like you said, you pay to get things done, $3-40,000rmb + 2 carton of cigarettes can you get your ship load of cars loading off at the port. Officials could pocket the money much easier. Same as other containers like electronics and fruits etc. Paperworks were all handwritten and a chop somewhere, no audit or barcode check. Nowadays, however, most Chinese won't take the risk of losing their jobs or getting handcuffed, unless you are talking about multi-million business, then they are interested in dealing with you. If you are talking about one or two cars, forget about bribing just follow their requirement and pay the heavy tax. |
Good luck as in if op has to ask here than most likely he does not have the connection to make this worthwhile. Its still possible to grease your way thru laws in china you just have to be smart about it and know the right ppl. Chances are op doesn't have any connection Good luck Import to Hk on other hand be easier. Posted via RS Mobile |
I got a friend who runs a logistics company here and regularly ships high end cars to China. If you are actually interested, I can get you guys to contact each other. |

there's a company right across from Q1 billiard in richmond that specializes in exporting cars to china. don't know the company name tho. place looks shady. |
^ sounds like a tarp. |
this is how |
It is not possible to do this on your own. You need to use a government approved import agent to import anything into china. Also the car needs to be brand new, (unless you have massive connections) and you will need to get CCC approval for the car. A $30,000 car, fully licensed will cost approx. 600,000RMB (depending on displacement) |
