Procurement knowledge
Direct answers, practical checklists and source links for dealers importing electric vehicles from China. A guide is not a stock offer or a guarantee of registration.
Source a BYD Seal by exact unit and destination, rather than by model name alone. This is a procurement guide, not a live stock offer. The Seal EV sedan and Seal 06 GT are different vehicles; confirm the variant before comparing quotations.
Read buyer guide →Plan for ownership and registration records, the export contract, inspection evidence, an export licence, customs documents and transport documents. Destination import approval is a separate check. The precise pack depends on the vehicle and transaction.
Read buyer guide →Sometimes, but not automatically. A China-market variant must satisfy the applicable German approval and registration requirements. A model sharing a name with an EU-sold vehicle is not proof that the China-spec unit has EU type approval.
Read buyer guide →GB/T and CCS2 are different charging systems. China-market vehicles commonly use GB/T, while CCS2 is widely used for European DC charging. Physical connection alone does not establish electrical, communication or vehicle compatibility.
Read buyer guide →Use a dated, vehicle-linked battery assessment alongside service records, fault checks and a physical inspection. A displayed range or a single state-of-health number is not a complete condition report.
Read buyer guide →There is no single verified price for this route. Obtain a dated quote for the actual vehicle, departure terminal, shipment method and sailing. Separate ocean freight from origin handling, insurance, destination charges and import costs.
