Great Wall Tengyi C30 with a 1.5VVT engine. One owner, purchased insurance in December, 80,000km safe driving with no major accidents. Minor scratches and scrapes are mostly on the bumpers. The interior is in excellent condition, meticulously maintained. Towels and car wash supplies are kept inside, keeping the interior spotless. All four tires were recently replaced this year. The car was serviced on September 17th, including oil, gear oil, brake fluid changes, two telephone coils, and a set of four spark plugs. No further maintenance costs after purchase. Very affordable, suitable for practice driving and daily commuting. National subsidies will definitely be available next year, so it's worth keeping. I'm preparing for the subsidies; it won't lose money after a year. Even if I drive it enough, I can smash it and sell it for scrap metal for over 5000 yuan.
As the importer, you mainly need to bear the following costs at the destination port: import duties, VAT or GST, terminal handling charges, local customs clearance fees, and inland logistics costs from the port to your company.

Two separate protections matter: cargo insurance and contractual risk transfer. Cargo insurance: for container or RoRo shipments, buy marine cargo insurance covering total loss and damage, typically 110% of the CIF value (average cost 0.3%–0.8%). Check exclusions — many policies exclude pre-existing damage, so a pre-shipment inspection report is essential to prove the car's condition at loading. Incoterms define who bears risk and cost at each stage: 1. FOB (Free On Board): exporter pays until the car is loaded on the vessel; risk passes to you at that point. You pay ocean freight and insurance. Common and usually cheapest if you have your own freight forwarder. 2. CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight): exporter pays freight and minimum insurance to your port. Convenient but the insurance coverage is basic — consider topping it up. 3. EXW (Ex Works): you handle everything from the exporter's yard; only choose this if you have a trusted agent in China. Put the agreed Incoterm and port clearly in the contract, and never release final payment before the Bill of Lading is issued.
