I. Core Processes of End-to-End Services

Vehicle Sourcing & Compliance Preparation

Certification Requirements: Exporters must be listed in MIIT's Vehicle Manufacturer and Product Announcement, holding 3C certification and export licenses. Used vehicles additionally require compliance with Used Passenger Vehicle Export Quality Standards (WM/T 8-2022).

Title Transfer: Process "transfer-for-export" registration domestically, ensuring no traffic violations or accident records. Used vehicles need original owner documents and inspection reports.

Export Procedures & Customs Clearance

License Application: Submit vehicle models, quantities, and overseas service network details via MOFCOM's system, with approval within 3 working days.

Customs Documentation: Contract, invoice, packing list, export license, and commodity inspection clearance (required for specific models).

EV-Specific Rules: Provide MSDS documents, UN38.3 test reports, and maintain battery charge levels at 20%-50%.

International Logistics Solutions

Transport Modes:

Ro-Ro/Container Shipping: Dominant method; mid-size sedan shipping from Shanghai to Los Angeles costs ~¥8,000/unit (insurance included).

Cross-Border Land Transport: e.g., Jianggang Express offers 4-hour dedicated trucking to Hong Kong, with refrigerated vehicles for temperature-sensitive cargo.

Digital Management: Platforms like Yijingtong enable synchronized shipping bookings and customs data, with full-chain tracking.

Destination Clearance & Last-Mile Delivery

Customs Adaptation: Meet target country standards (e.g., RHD conversion), provide certificates of origin and quality certifications.

Localized Distribution: Partner with overseas warehouses to reduce last-mile costs, e.g., cross-border trucking in the Middle East linking ports to inland hubs.

II. Innovative Models & Ecosystem Collaboration

Government-Enterprise Coordination

Tianjin Pilot: Established a used-car export service center handling over 40,000 transactions in 2024 for one-stop title transfer and export deregistration.

Financial Support: Launched China's first ¥100M+ credit insurance policy for used-car exports.

Integrated Industrial Bases

Greater Bay Area: Hejie International built a 172,000㎡ export hub in Nansha FTZ, offering bonded warehousing, refurbishment, and shipping services.

Dongjiang Alliance: Integrates leasing, inspection, and logistics resources to enhance vehicle sourcing and financing efficiency.

After-Sales Capability Building

Overseas service centers leverage "Automotive Repair E-Health Records" for maintenance history and spare parts supply.

Companies like ECARX emphasize "cultural localization" with global frameworks to support after-sales systems.

III. Policy & Risk Control

Quality Assurance: Export of stolen, smuggled, or scrapped vehicles is prohibited; mandatory third-party inspection reports.

Penalties: Violators face revoked export licenses or criminal charges.

Data Integration: Tools like China Unicom's "Smart Automotive Export Platform" optimize logistics scheduling.

Note: Exporters must monitor dynamic policies (e.g., ASEAN emission upgrades, EU Battery Passport).
