How to Check if a Car is Imported?

[Remington]

Methods to check if a car is imported: 1. Look at the brand - some car brands exclusively sell imported vehicles, such as Lexus, Porsche, Ferrari, etc.; 2. Determine by the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) - those starting with 'L' are domestically produced, while others are imported; 3. Check the vehicle's nameplate - it usually directly states the manufacturing location of the car. Any vehicle not manufactured domestically can be considered an imported car. Imported cars refer to vehicles entirely manufactured abroad and then shipped to China for sale, with no Chinese involvement in the entire process, whether in terms of technology or materials. Currently, there are two common types of imported cars: one is the original manufacturer-authorized imports sold at 4S stores, and the other is parallel imports, which can be understood as purchasing on behalf.
