Can the car be inspected abroad?

Many friends plan to go abroad, or they want to go abroad to go on road trip, but their car is in China. Can I check it abroad? Cars can be shipped abroad, and the delivery process is similar to domestic delivery business. See below for details. Let's take a look first!

From the procedural point of view, it is similar to domestic consignment business. It is also possible to drive the car to a consignment company or provide door-to-door service. It is very important for staff to check and inspect the appearance, performance and content of vehicles, especially whether there are contraband. After all, it has to go through customs inspection. If you find any problems, it's not just the shipper.

If there are any items on board, it is best to put them in the trunk, not in the back seat, which is also for transportation safety. After there is no problem in the internal and external inspection of the vehicle, confirm the relevant information and terms in the contract and sign it.

The shipping company will inform the pick-up place about 7 hours in advance according to the contact information agreed by the consignee, and the staff of the shipping company will leave only after the handover inspection by both parties is correct, which can be guaranteed.

In addition to the freight, the owner will also be required to apply for insurance, which is also for the safety of the vehicle in transit. After all, most of them go abroad by sea, and if transshipment is needed, there is also the risk of collision or other circumstances.

Of course, if you can get there directly by car, you can choose not to check. However, because you want to go abroad, you must give your car the status of going abroad in addition to the relevant visa. The most convenient thing is to make an ATA document book.

Simply put, it is a document that can pass customs clearance in 62 countries and regions. As long as there is, it can pass through these places without obstacles.

The local branches of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade are more formal in their handling methods. The advantage is that the channel is orthodox and there is no worries. The disadvantage is that you need to pay about half of the price of the vehicle as a deposit before returning to China. If you have nothing to do for a short time, staying abroad for a long time will take up a lot of money.

Another channel is to entrust a travel agency, and the deposit will be much cheaper, that is, tens of thousands of dollars, but you should find a formal to-do list to prevent being cheated.

Of course, if you drive to a neighboring country, you don't have to use ATA. You only need to bring your own valid documents, go through the relevant formalities, and pay temporary insurance at customs clearance. In addition, renting a car locally is also a good choice, which saves a lot of trouble.
