The Wuling Yangguang export process
Buying a van from another country is a sequence of small, checkable steps. This page explains each one, the documents involved and what you receive from us at every milestone.
What happens after I send an inquiry?
A sales manager replies within 24 hours (09:00–21:00 Beijing time). To quote accurately we need the model or use case, quantity, destination country and port, and whether you want FOB or CIF. If you are unsure which version suits you, describe the routes and loads — we recommend from the full catalogue.
Step 1 — Quotation and proforma invoice
You receive a written quotation listing the exact version, colour, condition (new or used), unit price, Incoterm and estimated shipping date. Once you confirm, we issue a proforma invoice (PI). The PI is the contract reference: it states the vehicle details, price, payment terms and bank details.
FOB or CIF — which should I choose?
Under FOB (Free On Board) our price covers the vehicle cleared for export and loaded on the vessel in China; you book and pay the ocean freight. Under CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) we also pay freight and minimum insurance to your named destination port. Both are defined by the International Chamber of Commerce.
“Incoterms® rules define the responsibilities of sellers and buyers for the delivery of goods under sales contracts.”
Choose FOB if you already have a freight forwarder with good rates. Choose CIF if you want one price to your port and one contact for the whole shipment. Shipping fee and delivery date are negotiated per order.
Step 2 — Payment and vehicle preparation
After payment, in-stock vehicles ship within 10 working days. Vehicles sourced to order take longer, and we confirm the date in writing. During preparation each van is inspected; at each milestone you receive a photo or video confirming its status.
Step 3 — Export compliance and Chinese customs clearance
We prepare the export paperwork, complete Chinese customs declaration and coordinate any third-party inspection your importer or authority requires.
Which documents will I receive?
| Document | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Commercial invoice | Value and description of the goods for customs |
| Packing list | Units, VINs and packed accessories |
| Bill of lading (B/L) | Proof of shipment; needed to release cargo at your port |
| Certificate of origin (CO) | Country of manufacture; may affect duties |
| Conformity certificate | Required by some markets, e.g. a SASO/SABER shipment certificate for Saudi Arabia |
Requirements vary by country. Before shipping, we confirm the list with you and, where needed, with your customs broker. See our market guides for country notes.
Step 4 — Shipping
Vans travel by Ro-Ro vessel, in 40-foot high-cube containers, or, where available, overland by rail or truck to Central Asia. The route is agreed per order. Mixed-model orders are welcome; we plan container loading to reduce your freight cost.
Step 5 — Arrival and import clearance
We send the original or telex-released documents so your broker can clear the vans. Import duties, taxes and registration in your country are the buyer's responsibility unless the PI says otherwise. We stay in contact until the vehicles are released.
Frequently asked questions
