How to select reliable car exporter from China

If you are considering importing cars from China, one of the most important things you need to do is to choose a reliable exporter.

A good exporter will save you lots of money and time while a bad exporter will make you lose money and even be deceived.

Let’s take a look at how to select a reliable exporter.

First, I will give you some examples of tricks that bad exporters commonly use.

1. Give you demo car at normal price instead of brand-new car as agreed.
2. Deliver repaired cars which have been involved in transportation accidents as brand-new cars.
3. Deliver long-term inventory cars at normal price without informing you in advance.
4. Ask for extra money after you pay the down payment.
5. Deliver low model instead of high model as agreed.
6. Lure you with low price and low down payment, disappear after you made the down payment.

And all most every bad exporter uses low price and less down payment to lure you. So be careful with low price and low down payment, it may cause you much more money and time than expected, the worst thing is being cheated out of everything.

There are some common characteristics for reliable exporters:

1. They explain the details of transactions comprehensively and never hide anything which is not unfavorable to importers.
2. They prepare detailed and complete contracts to ensure the rights and obligations of both parties.
3. They provide saft payment methods such as L/C rather than just T/T.
4. They provide full lifecycle services such as import custom clearance, best-selling car model recommendation, vehicle homologation rather than selling cars alone.
5. They place great emphasis on services such as transaction process explanation, purchasing time recommendation, vehicle specification translation rather than just quotation.
