How to Ship a Car Purchased in Japan Back to China?

[MarianaDella]

You can ship the car back to China via sea freight. However, it must be a model permitted for import in China, and all tariffs must be paid. Below are some considerations when importing a car purchased abroad: 1. No after-sales service for cars brought from abroad: Since these models are not officially released in the Chinese market, cars directly brought from abroad typically have no after-sales service, let alone a warranty period. Maintenance and repairs must be paid for out of pocket, and some brand 4S stores may even decline to provide such services. 2. Models not listed in the customs catalog are not allowed for import: Since the 1990s, right-hand drive vehicles have been banned from registration in mainland China. According to regulations, mainland China prohibits the import of right-hand drive vehicles and will not issue certificates for them, making it impossible to obtain normal licensing procedures.
