Quick answers: where and how to import
Which countries can I import Chinese used cars into?
Major markets include the UAE and Saudi Arabia (GCC conformity via SASO/SABER, age limits apply), Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania (pre-shipment inspection mandatory), Russia and Kazakhstan (overland via Khorgos, EAEU rules), Thailand and the Philippines. Age limits range from 3 years (Saudi used-car rule) to 8+ years depending on market.
What is CCIC pre-shipment inspection?
CCIC (China Certification & Inspection Group) inspection is a pre-shipment verification of a vehicle's condition, VIN and mileage required by Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania and several other destinations before customs clearance. A car without a recognised pre-shipment inspection certificate will be denied entry or fined at the destination port. CarSourceHub coordinates CCIC inspection before every shipment.
