Looking to import new EVs, ICE vehicles, SUVs and commercial vehicles from China for your dealership? From vehicle selection to international delivery, GD STAR AUTO provides a seamless and transparent export experience for global buyers. We serve importers across Europe, South America and Africa, with flexible FCA pricing and reliable end-to-end support.
Step 1: Vehicle Selection
You can choose from a wide range of models on our website, including electric vehicles, internal combustion engine vehicles, SUVs, pickup trucks, commercial vehicles, and luxury sedans. We stock popular LHD models such as AITO M6, AITO M7 and Leapmotor C01 for immediate shipment. If you do not find the specific model you are looking for, please let us know; our sourcing team can assist in finding a suitable vehicle based on your requirements, budget and local import regulations.
Step 2: Quotation and Preliminary Order Confirmation
Our sales team will provide detailed vehicle specifications, FCA vehicle-only pricing, shipping options and estimated delivery schedules. We clearly separate the car price from freight, customs, local duties and other destination-side costs so you can calculate your total landed cost easily. Once specifications, colour, trim and quantity are confirmed, we will issue a proforma invoice to lock in your order.
Step 3: Vehicle Inspection
Before export, vehicles are prepared and stored securely in our warehouse. Every unit goes through a pre-shipment check for exterior condition, interior functions and VIN matching. We share detailed photos, walkaround videos and official VIN records for your full review and verification before balance payment and loading. You can also arrange a third-party inspection if required.
Step 4: Container Loading
Our experienced loading team places and secures vehicles inside containers following international maritime safety standards. We use lashing straps, wheel chocks and protective wrapping to avoid scratches or movement during transit. We send you loading photos and container numbers once finished.
Step 5: International Shipping
We ship vehicles to major ports worldwide via trusted ocean carriers. You can choose our shipping arrangement or nominate your own freight forwarder. We work with regular routes to Europe, South America and Africa and keep you updated on vessel ETA.
## Step 6: Export Documentation and Delivery After the vessel departs, we prepare and send your full export document package. Standard documents include: Bill of Lading (B/L) Commercial Invoice Packing List Certificate of Origin Vehicle conformity and factory documents (where applicable) The exact document set is adjusted according to your country’s customs and registration rules. These papers are critical for your local customs clearance and vehicle registration.
FAQ How long does the whole export process take? For in-stock vehicles, the cycle from PI confirmation to vessel departure usually takes 7–15 working days, subject to warehouse schedule and shipping space. Sourced models will have separate lead times. Do you handle destination customs clearance? No. We handle China-side export procedures. Customs clearance, import tax and local homologation at your destination are the importer’s responsibility. We can advise on commonly required documents for your market. Can I mix different car models in one container? Mixed loading is available upon request, subject to container weight and dimension limits. Ask our sales team for mixed-container plans.
