Why source from China
Chinese new-energy vehicles now cover the price and specification ranges Gulf buyers ask for most: mid-size electric SUVs, plug-in hybrid 4x4s and fast-charging five-seaters. Buying directly through an export partner keeps the specification, condition report and paperwork under one supplier.
- Confirm the exact trim and colour before paying a deposit
- Ask for the inspection photo set and mileage at loading
- Plan customs documents before the vessel sails, not after
Documents to prepare
Expect an invoice, packing list, bill of lading and the export licence paperwork. Your import agent will normally ask for the certificate of origin as well.
