Changan Export FAQ

Straight answers to the questions dealers, fleets and importers ask before their first order: minimum quantity, payment, price terms, shipping, inspection and documents.

Ordering and models

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

One unit. A single car can ship Ro-Ro or share a container with other buyers’ cars. From 3 units we can load a dedicated 40HQ container, and from about 10 units fleet pricing applies. Most new dealers start with one mixed container so they can test two or three models before committing to volume.

Which Changan model should I choose?

Start with the CS55 PLUS for general dealer stock, as it is the volume model. Choose the X5 PLUS for the lowest entry price and younger buyers. Pick the CS75 PLUS when buyers want more space and an 8-speed automatic, and the 2026 CS75 PLUS 2.0T as a flagship where power sells. Many dealers order two of these in one container.

Can I mix different models in one container?

Yes. Mixed containers are common, for example two CS55 PLUS and one X5 PLUS in a 40HQ. The exact number per container depends on the models, because the CS75 PLUS is longer than the compact SUVs. We send a loading plan with the proforma invoice so you can see how many units fit before you pay the deposit.

Do dealers and fleets get volume discounts?

Yes. The unit price falls as quantity rises, and repeat dealers and fleet buyers get better terms than one-off orders. The discount depends on the model mix, grade and delivery month, so we quote it per order rather than publish a fixed table. Ask Kunta for fleet and tender pricing, or Fan for dealership accounts.

How do I get a proforma invoice?

Send us the model, grade, colour, quantity, destination port and preferred Incoterm by WhatsApp, email or the contact form. We reply with a proforma invoice, usually within one working day. It lists the unit price, total, payment terms, lead time and validity, typically 7 days. Your deposit against the signed PI confirms the order.

Prices and payment

Are your prices FOB, CFR or CIF?

We quote FOB China port by default, and we can quote CFR or CIF to your destination port on request. FOB means you arrange and pay ocean freight. CFR adds freight to your port. CIF adds freight plus marine insurance. The terms follow ICC Incoterms 2020, and the chosen term is written on the proforma invoice.

What payment terms do you accept?

Our standard terms are a 30% T/T deposit when you sign the proforma invoice and the 70% balance before shipment, paid against a copy of the bill of lading. Payment is always in USD to the company account named on the proforma invoice.

Shipping and inspection

How long does it take from order to delivery?

Most stock colours reach the China port 20–35 days after the deposit, and the 2026 CS75 PLUS can take 30–45 days because it is built in factory batches. Ocean transit then adds roughly 20–35 days to the Middle East and Africa and 30–45 days to Latin America. Rail to Central Asia takes about 12–20 days.

How are the cars shipped?

We ship by Ro-Ro vessel, by 40HQ container (usually 2–3 SUVs per container) or by rail to Central Asia. Ro-Ro suits larger lots to ports with regular car-carrier calls. Containers suit small lots, mixed models and ports without Ro-Ro service. Rail via the Khorgos or Alashankou crossings is the usual route to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.

Can I arrange SGS or another pre-shipment inspection?

Yes. You can appoint SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek or any other inspection company to check the cars before loading. They verify VIN, model, grade, colour, mileage and condition against the proforma invoice. Some destination countries require a specific inspection programme, so tell us early and we will book it before the port cut-off date.

Vehicles, documents and support

Are the cars brand new with 0 km?

Yes. Every car we export is brand new, never registered, and shows only delivery mileage from factory and port moves. The cars ship as complete built-up units (CBU). An inspection report or photos of the odometer and VIN plate can be added before loading if you need proof for your buyer or customs.

Do you supply right-hand-drive (RHD) cars?

No, we export left-hand-drive (LHD) cars only. Right-hand-drive supply depends on factory programmes for specific markets and is not part of our standard range. If you need RHD, ask Kunta before you plan the order and he will check whether any current factory programme can supply your market.

Which export documents do I receive?

Every shipment comes with a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin. We also provide the China new-vehicle export documents, and a certificate of conformity (COC) or other homologation papers where the factory issues them for your market. If your customs broker or import licence needs another document, send us the list before we issue the proforma.

What warranty and spare-parts support do you provide?

Warranty follows the factory policy for your destination market, and we confirm the exact terms on the proforma invoice. We supply spare parts from China by air or with your next vehicle shipment. Many dealers add a starter parts package of filters, brake parts and body panels to their first order so they can service cars from day one.
