Explain the vehicle and company separately
Make the model, registration status, exporting role and business conditions clear Low mileage alone does not establish a normal new-vehicle application route
Keep the used-vehicle applicant clear
Current rules require the used-vehicle exporter to apply for its own license Preparation support does not replace the exporter’s application responsibility
Check additional requirements for recent registrations
Measures effective in 2026 require after-sales confirmation materials for specified recently registered vehicles Check the relevant dates and notice before preparing the order; do not assume a universal “zero-mileage used vehicle” route
Bring four groups of information
- Business details and preparation stage
- Vehicle model, registration status and source
- Destination, buyer and order stage
- Available license-related documents and payment plans
