How to Check if a Car is Imported?
1 Answers
Methods to check if a car is imported: 1. Import customs declaration: Check if the car's identity information is an import customs declaration, which is the most authoritative and accurate method to determine whether a car is imported. 2. VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): The first letter of the VIN represents the country of production. Cars with a VIN starting with 'L' are domestically produced, including both independent and joint-venture brands. Cars with a VIN that does not start with 'L' are imported. 3. Common knowledge about cars: Some car brands are not domestically produced, such as Lexus, Subaru, Porsche, etc. These brands are sold in the domestic market as fully imported vehicles. Therefore, any model from these brands is definitely an imported model.
