What does non-parallel imported car mean?

[DanielaLee]

Non-parallel imported cars refer to vehicles authorized by brand manufacturers. Parallel imported cars, whose full name is parallel trade imported cars, abbreviated as parallel trade cars, are vehicles purchased by traders from overseas markets and introduced into the Chinese market for sale without authorization from brand manufacturers. Depending on the import source, they can be classified into US-spec cars, Middle East-spec cars, Canada-spec cars, and Europe-spec cars, distinguishing them from China-spec cars sold through authorized channels. Official parallel import car dealers must provide consumers with the following documents: 1. Certificate of Imported Goods; 2. Vehicle Inspection Sheet; 3. Vehicle Conformity Certificate; 4. Vehicle Purchase Invoice; 5. Imported Vehicle Electronic Information.
