What is the Difference Between Large Trade and Small Trade?
1 Answers
The differences between large trade and small trade are as follows: 1. Introduction method: Large trade involves bulk imports by manufacturers with manufacturer after-sales service, while small trade involves small-scale imports by dealers with dealer after-sales service. 2. Certification method: Large trade requires 3C compulsory certification, one certification per model. Small trade requires a separate inspection certification report for each vehicle (higher cost). 3. Cost: Large trade has higher marketing costs, while small trade has lower marketing expenses. Additional information: 1. Manufacturer direction: "Large trade vehicles" are those supplied by manufacturers to the Chinese market in compliance with national regulations, collectively referred to as "regular trade vehicles that meet Chinese national safety standards"; so-called "small trade vehicles" are mostly products imported into the Chinese market through unconventional cross-country or regional channels, with the biggest difference being that they are cheaper but lack original factory warranty. 2. Relevant regulations: "Large trade vehicles" must legally provide original factory warranty in accordance with Chinese national mandatory regulations, otherwise they will face penalties such as import suspension; whereas "small trade vehicles" (or small batches) are vehicles imported by applicants or import units based on their own usage principles, after applying to national import regulatory authorities, and must declare that they will bear the usage risks of the vehicles themselves before import, meaning that maintenance, warranty, and whether the vehicle can be registered are all their own responsibilities.
