What are the documentation requirements for parallel-imported vehicles?
1 Answers
Parallel-imported vehicle documentation checklist is as follows: 1. Certificate of Imported Goods: Commonly known as customs clearance document. It contains the vehicle name, customs broker (not the sales company), VIN, engine number, production date, etc. All vehicle information is based on this document as it bears the official customs seal and cannot be falsified. 2. Inspection Sheet for Imported Motor Vehicles: Commonly called commodity inspection. Issued after CIQ (China Inspection and Quarantine) inspection, it states the customs broker, VIN, engine number, and bears the quarantine bureau's seal. 3. Compulsory Product Certification (Vehicle Conformity Certificate): For new models, the front shows the conformity certificate while the back contains the environmental compliance list. Older versions have conformity certificates on both sides with environmental lists as separate paper documents. 4. Invoice: Some come in triplicate, others in quadruplicate. It states the vehicle's invoiced price and taxpayer information. 5. Vehicle Purchase Tax Declaration Form: After the dealer issues the invoice, this information gets uploaded. The electronic information QR code can usually be printed from the "China Automotive Technology and Research Center" self-service system within 48 hours after invoice issuance.
