What does parallel import of cars mean?

[SanTalia]

Parallel import cars refer to vehicles imported directly from the country of origin, meaning they are imported by importers other than the general distributor directly from the car's country of origin. Parallel import cars are also legal products and enter the domestic market after passing 3C certification. Extension: Legitimate parallel import car dealers must provide consumers with the following documents: 1. Certificate of Imported Goods (Customs Declaration). 2. Vehicle Inspection Report (Commodity Inspection). 3. Vehicle Conformity Certificate. 4. Vehicle Purchase Invoice. 5. Imported Vehicle Electronic Information. Compared to joint venture cars and domestically produced cars, parallel import cars have relatively smaller batches, and their after-sales service and warranty may not be guaranteed in the long term.
