Inquiry
A dealer partnership starts with a specific inquiry. You send us the make, model, year range, mileage cap, and budget in USD. We respond with current stock availability from our Chinese ports and a reference FOB price. For example, a 2015 Ford Focus with 90,000 km is listed at $3,000 FOB, stock ID GL-CHE-9604. A 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport with 136,000 km is $13,750 FOB, stock ID GLA-HX-1488814097. A 2014 Ford Mondeo with 100,000 km is $4,800 FOB, stock ID GL-CHE-0086. These are real listings, not estimates. We confirm steering position (left-hand drive for Russia), transmission type, and port of shipment in China. We do not quote vague ranges. If a unit is not in stock, we say so and offer alternatives from our current inventory. This first step sets the tone: transparent, factual, and grounded in what is physically available. No marketing language, just stock IDs and FOB numbers.
Quote
Within one business day, we issue a formal quote. It includes the FOB price, the stock ID, the vehicle specifications, and the estimated delivery window to your city in Russia or the EAEU. The quote is valid for 48 hours because Chinese wholesale prices move with exchange rates and local demand. For the 2015 Ford Focus at $3,000, the quote would list the EcoBoost engine, automatic transmission, front-wheel drive, and left-hand steering. For the 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport at $13,750, we cite the 240PS SE trim, 2.0-liter turbo Ingenium engine, 9-speed automatic, and permanent all-wheel drive. We also disclose any known history, such as a replaced rear tailgate panel on the Land Rover. The quote does not include Russian customs duties, VAT, or logistics beyond the Chinese port. Those are calculated separately based on EAEU customs regulations. We provide a clear breakdown so you can model your landed cost. No hidden fees, no surprise surcharges.
Sample
If you need to verify quality before committing to a volume order, we can arrange a sample purchase. You select one unit from our current stock, pay the FOB price, and we handle export documentation and loading at the Chinese port. For a 2014 Ford Mondeo at $4,800 FOB, the sample process takes 7–10 days from payment to bill of lading. The sample is a full transaction, not a free demo. It lets you inspect the vehicle upon arrival, check mileage authenticity, and test the condition report against reality. We provide original odometer verification where available. For the 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport, the mileage is confirmed as genuine by the original odometer. We do not fabricate inspection reports. If the sample meets your expectations, we can scale to a dealer partnership program with priority stock access and consolidated shipping. If not, you have lost only the cost of one unit and gained real data.
Production
In the context of used vehicle exports, production means sourcing, acquiring, and preparing the vehicle for shipment. Once you confirm the order, we secure the unit from our Chinese dealer network. We verify ownership history, check for outstanding financing, and confirm the number of previous transfers. For the 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport, the history shows one registered owner, one transfer of ownership, and no outstanding finance. For the 2015 Ford Focus, the listing notes no ownership transfers and a well-maintained condition. We then arrange for any necessary cleaning, minor repairs, or documentation updates required for export. This stage typically takes 3–5 business days. We do not delay with unnecessary bureaucracy. Our team in China handles the local paperwork, including export licenses and customs declarations. You receive photos and videos of the actual unit before it leaves the lot. This is not a stock photo; it is your specific vehicle, with its stock ID visible.
QC
Quality control is a documented step, not a verbal promise. Before shipment, we conduct a multi-point inspection covering engine, transmission, drivetrain, electronics, bodywork, and interior. We record any defects with photographs and notes. For the 2014 Ford Mondeo at $4,800 FOB, we check the left-hand steering, automatic transmission, and petrol engine. For the 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport, we verify the 240PS output, the 9-speed automatic, and the all-wheel-drive system. We also confirm that the odometer reading matches the original ECU data where possible. Our QC report is shared with you before the vehicle is loaded. If a unit fails QC, we either fix the issue or replace it with an equivalent from stock. We do not ship vehicles with undisclosed major faults. This protects your reputation as a dealer and reduces after-sales claims. The QC process adds 2–3 business days to the timeline, but it prevents costly surprises at the Russian border.
Shipping
We ship from Chinese ports to Russian and EAEU destinations. The most common routes are via Vladivostok, Novorossiysk, and St. Petersburg, with onward transport to cities like Moscow, Yekaterinburg, and Irkutsk. For a 2015 Ford Focus at $3,000 FOB, the sea freight to Vladivostok typically takes 7–12 days, plus 3–5 days for customs clearance. For the 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport at $13,750 FOB, the same route applies, with higher insurance due to value. We provide FOB pricing, which means you take ownership at the Chinese port and arrange the main carriage. However, we can recommend freight forwarders and consolidate multiple units for dealer partners. We issue the bill of lading, export certificate, and any other required documents. We do not mark up freight; you pay the forwarder directly. This transparency is part of our dealer partnership program. For volume orders, we can negotiate better rates with our logistics partners.
After-sales
After the vehicle arrives, our support continues. We provide all original documentation, including export certificates, bills of lading, and ownership records. If you encounter any discrepancy between the QC report and the delivered vehicle, we work with you to resolve it. For dealer partners, we offer a 30-day window to report any undisclosed issues. We do not cover wear-and-tear items, but we do cover major mechanical faults that were not disclosed. For example, if the 2014 Ford Mondeo develops a transmission fault within 30 days that was not noted in the QC report, we will contribute to the repair cost or accept a return at our discretion. This is not a warranty; it is a partnership commitment. We also provide ongoing stock updates and priority access to new arrivals. Our goal is to make your sourcing from China predictable and repeatable. We do not disappear after the sale. We answer emails, provide additional photos, and help with customs queries. This is how we build long-term dealer relationships.
Volume Partnerships
For dealers who commit to regular volumes, we offer a formal partnership program. This includes dedicated account management, priority stock allocation, and consolidated shipping discounts. We can hold units for up to 7 days without payment to allow you to confirm buyer interest. We also provide market intelligence from Chinese automotive industry reports and Russian vehicle import statistics. For example, we can share data on which models are moving fastest in the Russian market, such as the 2015 Ford Focus at $3,000 FOB or the 2014 Ford Mondeo at $4,800 FOB. We do not share your customer data. The partnership is non-exclusive, but we reward loyalty with better pricing on future orders. To qualify, you need a minimum of 5 units per quarter. We then assign a dedicated manager who knows your preferences and can source specific configurations. This is not a franchise; it is a sourcing alliance.
Documentation and Compliance
Every shipment includes a full document set: bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, export certificate, and certificate of origin. For EAEU customs, we ensure the vehicle meets the technical regulations for emissions and safety. We do not handle Russian customs clearance directly, but we provide all documents required by your broker. For the 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport, the original registration in Hefei, China, is documented, and the one-owner history is verifiable. For the 2015 Ford Focus, the no-transfer history is noted. We also provide a notarized translation of the Chinese registration documents if needed. This reduces delays at the border. We stay updated on EAEU customs regulations and can advise on the latest requirements. We do not fabricate compliance documents. If a vehicle cannot be exported to Russia due to age or emission standards, we will tell you before you pay. This honesty is non-negotiable.
Timeline Summary
From inquiry to delivery, a typical dealer order takes 25–40 days. Inquiry and quote: 1–2 days. Sample or confirmation: 1–3 days. Production and sourcing: 3–5 days. QC: 2–3 days. Shipping to Vladivostok: 7–12 days. Customs clearance in Russia: 3–5 days. Inland transport to your city: 2–7 days depending on distance. For a 2015 Ford Focus at $3,000 FOB, the total landed cost in Moscow might be around $5,500–$6,500 depending on duties and logistics. For the 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport at $13,750 FOB, the landed cost in Moscow might be $18,000–$20,000. These are estimates; your actual costs depend on current exchange rates and customs valuations. We provide a cost calculator for dealer partners. We do not hide fees. The timeline is realistic, not optimistic. We have shipped hundreds of vehicles from China to Russia, and we know where delays happen. We plan for them.
