What are the procedures for licensing parallel imported vehicles?
1 Answers
Parallel imported vehicle licensing procedures include the customs declaration form, commodity inspection form, vehicle conformity certificate, purchase invoice, and imported vehicle electronic information form. The following is related extended content: Concept of parallel imported vehicles: Parallel imported vehicles are cars that are imported directly from the vehicle's country of origin and introduced into the Chinese market by importers through specific channels, without authorization from the brand manufacturer, outside the authorized general distributors. The import channels are relatively "parallel" compared to those of domestic authorized "4S" stores. Depending on the import location, they can be categorized into "American version," "Canadian version," "Middle East version," and "European version." Licensing procedure considerations: Most parallel imported vehicles undergo modifications or tinting, and some regions do not allow licensing, so it is necessary to consult local licensing personnel; for modified wheel sizes, inquire with the dealer about changing the conformity information, as the cost is not high; there is usually a nameplate under the right door, and if the nameplate does not match the vehicle information, the dealer or intermediaries can resolve the issue.
