PRICING, PAYMENT & ORDERS
Auto in China offers genuine factory-level export pricing with no broker fees or intermediary markups. Buyers who choose to import cars from China through Auto in China consistently access pricing significantly below market rates available from third-party trading companies, providing a strong commercial foundation for dealers and fleet buyers building competitive retail, wholesale, or rental pricing structures.
Auto in China accepts Bank Wire Transfer (T/T) to our verified corporate banking account and Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) from internationally recognized financial institutions. These instruments represent the standard payment framework for vehicle export from China and provide a secure, fully documented transaction structure for both the buyer and the exporting company.
Our standard export payment terms require a 30% deposit upon proforma invoice confirmation, with the remaining 70% balance payable prior to vessel loading against presentation of original shipping documents. For established and repeat dealer partners, alternative payment structures may be explored based on order history, volume, and relationship terms agreed in advance.
Auto in China accepts vehicle orders from a single unit for individual import, trial purchase, or market sampling purposes.

Buyers are strongly advised to confirm their order within the validity period to secure the quoted pricing and OEM production allocation for their required models.
