COMMON BUYER QUESTIONS
Start with a direct answer.
Each answer links to a fuller guide with its assumptions and primary sources.
How do FOB, FCA and EXW differ?
They change the delivery point, risk transfer, cost allocation and export-clearance responsibility.
Read the full answer →Which vehicle export documents should I request?
Agree separate commercial, vehicle-identity, export, transport and destination document sets.
Read the full answer →Should I use container or RoRo shipping?
Compare only route-specific options that the carrier accepts for the exact vehicle and condition.
Read the full answer →What SOC should an EV have for sea shipment?
There is no universal percentage; obtain the booked carrier's written requirement for that sailing.
Read the full answer →How do stock and factory-order vehicles differ?
Stock should identify an existing unit or batch; a factory order still needs allocation, specification and timing controls.
Read the full answer →Can a VIN prove production date and vehicle condition?
No. Treat identity, production timing, physical condition and recall status as separate checks.
Read the full answer →Should I choose the supplier with the lowest vehicle quote?
Only after the exact vehicle, supply status, delivery scope, documents, inspection and payment terms are comparable.
Read the full answer →What does FCA Khorgos mean in a vehicle quotation?
It should name the exact China-side handover point, transport mode and evidence used when risk transfers.
Read the full answer →Does a published price prove current stock?
No. Website prices are dated, indicative references until a valid quotation confirms supply and validity.

Guides explain the buying process. A formal inquiry confirms the exact vehicle, quantity, destination and commercial terms.
