Shanghai Fanqie Auto (Jiuling Mingche) offers certified premium used cars. All vehicles undergo 166 detailed inspections and over 300 procedures to ensure they are in good condition, free from fire, flooding, and major accidents. All vehicles are supported by four dealerships and third-party inspection platforms. If a vehicle is found to be a major accident vehicle, flood-damaged, fire-damaged, illegally owned, or of unknown origin, a full refund and deposit will be provided. We operate with integrity and honesty, prioritizing customer service. Guaranteed vehicle condition eliminates your worries about buying a used car. Our showroom offers one-on-one professional sales service. Customers who book an appointment online to view vehicles will receive free pick-up and drop-off service within 10 kilometers. We also provide free vehicle appraisals, free paperwork processing, Shanghai license plate consignment, and financing services. Showroom address: 1st Floor, No. 25, Lane 4999, Hongmei South Road, Minhang District, Shanghai.
We mainly collaborate with professional organizations certified by China's national CMA (Certification of Inspection and Testing Institutions). If you need the highest level of international endorsement, we can arrange for independent inspection agencies like SGS or TÜV to conduct Pre-Shipment Inspections (PSI) before loading at the port.
Used cars are classified under HS heading 8703 (motor vehicles for transport of persons), with the last four digits determined by engine type and size. Gasoline cars usually fall in 8703.21–8703.80 depending on displacement; pure EVs fall under 8703.80; hybrids have their own subheadings. The duty amount depends on your country's tariff schedule: 1. Most countries charge duty on the CIF value (car price + freight + insurance), not the FOB price. 2. Many developing markets levy higher duties on used vehicles than new ones, and some add a surcharge based on age — older cars can cost significantly more to clear. 3. After duty, you typically pay VAT/GST on the CIF + duty total, plus port and customs fees. Practical tips: ask your exporter to state the exact HS code on the commercial invoice and confirm it with a local customs broker before shipping. A wrong code can trigger reclassification, penalties, or delays. Also budget for any excise tax tied to engine capacity — in several markets a 2.5L car clears far cheaper than a 3.5L one.
This is a common issue with sea transport. If the vehicle is parked at a humid dock, the EPB can easily rust to the brake disc. In addition to testing its release before shipping, we try to ask dock workers to secure the wheels with chocks instead of fully engaging the electronic parking brake.
