What emission standard does the Changan CS55 Plus meet?
The manufacturer lists the China VI emission standard for all four model years. Whether your market accepts that standard, or maps it to a local equivalent, is for your authority to say. Ask your customs broker and send us the answer before you order.
Which documents do you need for customs clearance?
- Commercial invoice or proforma invoice
- Bill of lading (B/L)
- Certificate of origin
- Packing list
- Certificate of conformity (COC), where your market needs it
Original documents are sent for clearance after shipment. See the full export process for each step.
What is the difference between FOB and CIF for importers?
With FOB you arrange sea freight and insurance, which suits importers with a preferred forwarder. With CIF we include freight and insurance to your named port, which suits importers who want one price. Both follow ICC Incoterms 2020.
How do you avoid problems at the port?
- Confirm the importable model years and any age or emission rules before ordering
- Share your customs office's document list with us in advance
- Check that names, addresses and vehicle identification numbers match across all documents
- Appoint a clearing agent before the vessel arrives
