Product Compliance

1. Vehicles that have reached the mandatory scrapping standard under the Provisions on Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles, or that are within one year (inclusive) of the prescribed service-life limit;2. Vehicles under mortgage or pledge, or within the customs supervision period;3. Vehicles sealed or seized by supervisory authorities, people's courts, people's procuratorates or administrative law-enforcement departments in accordance with the law;4. Vehicles obtained by theft, robbery, fraud or other illegal criminal means;5. Vehicles whose details are inconsistent with those recorded in the motor vehicle registration certificate;6. Smuggled or illegally assembled vehicles;7. Vehicles lacking the statutory certificates or vouchers;8. Vehicles that fail inspection;9. Vehicles with unresolved road traffic violations or traffic accidents;10. Vehicles whose trading or export is prohibited by other laws and regulations.

1. Vehicle brand and model; 2. Engine type (diesel, petrol, electric motor, etc.); 3. Number of seats; 4. Whether supplied as a complete set of parts (CKD); 5. Whether it is a China-market-spec vehicle; 6. Whether new or used; 7. Battery capacity.In particular, the commodity code, engine type and model must be consistent with the content of the export licence, and the VIN must be exact. Take care to distinguish the letter "O" from the digit "0" and the letter "I" from the digit "1", so that character confusion does not hold up clearance.

The customs declaration form, export licence, commercial invoice, packing list, sales contract, bill of lading and customs brokerage authorisation; the vehicle conformity certificate and chassis number certificate. Where the goods fall within the licensing scope, an export licence must be obtained; loading and shipment may proceed only after customs has reviewed the documents and released the goods following inspection.

The Vehicle Identification Number, commonly called the chassis number, consists of 17 letters and digits; it is unique and never repeated. Main ways to verify the VIN: 1. Nameplate: the metal plate on the bus body door frame, in the engine bay or on the chassis frame (most common); 2. Vehicle registration certificate / motor vehicle registration certificate (the "big green book"), on which the VIN is printed directly; 3. The vehicle conformity certificate and factory certificate also bear the VIN.

Fuel level must be controlled in line with the carrier's requirements; the parking brake must be applied and the wheels chocked; the body should be covered with protective film to prevent salt-water corrosion and scratches; glass and mirrors must be protected.

Photographing the vehicle as it leaves the factory before entering the port provides the original evidence of its identity and condition. Focus on the nameplate, clearly recording the brand, model, VIN (chassis number) and date of manufacture; this serves as the first-hand basis for later document review and customs verification, ensuring the vehicle's identity data is accurate and traceable. Photos taken at loading (parking position, wheel-chock securing, etc.) are the most direct record of the vehicle's condition in transit. Should damage or displacement occur in transit or after arrival, these photos allow responsibility to be traced. All materials are archived together: they are evidence of performance for the customer and the basis for later claims and dispute handling.

To prevent systems such as self-diagnostics and GPS tracking from drawing power continuously during the ocean voyage and draining the 12V auxiliary battery. If the auxiliary battery runs flat in transit, the vehicle cannot be started to drive off at the destination port, which seriously affects delivery and incurs additional handling charges. The main power must therefore be switched off per the manufacturer's procedure before loading, so as to cut off this hidden power drain.

Report it immediately and arrange on-site handling at the same time: for a measuring anomaly, re-measure under supervision and refuse to sign the anomalous document; for a power-on anomaly, first diagnose the cause (recharge, deactivate transport mode, deal with the auxiliary battery); for inadequate securing, require the operator to rectify and re-secure. Keep records of every exception-handling step and report back, releasing the vehicle for loading only after the issue is fully closed out.

A power-on test must be carried out the day before loading. Its core purpose is to confirm that the vehicle can drive itself into the ship's hold. The checks include: whether the vehicle starts normally, whether gear shifting is normal, and whether steering is normal. Focus on the traction battery SOC (recommended not below 40%), whether the 12V auxiliary battery is flat, and whether transport mode has been deactivated. A problem in any one of these items may prevent the vehicle from driving aboard under its own power and disrupt the loading schedule.

It refers to lithium-ion batteries installed in equipment / transported together with equipment (lithium-ion batteries contained in equipment / packed with equipment). Two situations: 1) The battery is already installed inside the machine (battery inside the equipment). 2) The battery and equipment are in the same package but the battery is not installed (companion packaging in the same case). Air packaging: PI966 (installed in equipment) / PI967 (packed with equipment). Examples: a complete EMU with batteries already installed; equipment + spare battery exported in the same case.

It refers to lithium-ion batteries not installed in equipment (bare cells / bare modules) — lithium-ion batteries. 1. Cargo form: lithium battery cells, modules and packs transported alone, not installed in equipment and not shipped with equipment. 2. Air packaging: PI965; sea (IMDG): Class 9. Example: standalone energy-storage battery modules, locomotive backup battery modules, shipped as bare modules.

The vehicle must start and drive normally; drain the fuel tank to a low level (generally fuel ≤ 10%, to meet maritime fire-prevention requirements); remove detachable, easily detachable parts and secure them; clean off mud and debris — many destination countries have quarantine requirements, and mud can block customs clearance.

1. Confirm with the shipping line in advance the battery charge requirement for electric vehicles — generally keep 35%–50% — and affix shipping marks before entry. 2. It is recommended to remove the rear-view mirrors at the factory. 3. The factory should also prepare in advance a video or manual on how to shut off the high-voltage switch and low-voltage switch of the electric bus; after the cargo enters the terminal, terminal staff will be asked to cut the power.

Before sea export, all hydraulic oil and cutting fluid must be drained; oil-bearing cargo cannot be loaded into the container. If the oil must be shipped alongside, declare it separately, provide an MSDS, and if it is dangerous goods, also obtain the dangerous-goods packaging certificate.
