Russian Customers' Top 20 Questions About Importing Chinese Cars — FAQ

We've compiled the 20 most frequently asked questions from our clients, covering pricing, customs, delivery, and after-sales support.

💰 Pricing & Payment

Q1: What does the total price include?

Total = factory price + logistics + customs clearance + service fee. Fully transparent with no hidden costs.

Q2: Can I pay in Russian rubles?

Yes. We accept CNY, RUB, and USD at the daily bank exchange rate.

Q3: What's the deposit? Can I get a refund?

First payment is 70–80% of the total. Full refund if cancelled before shipment due to our side.

Q4: Will it be cheaper than Russian dealerships?

Typically 5–15% cheaper due to direct factory sourcing with no middleman markup.

🚗 Models & Specifications

Q5: Can I order a custom configuration or color?

Yes. Direct factory orders allow full customization. Custom orders require an additional 4–6 weeks lead time.

Q6: What's the difference between parallel import and dealer cars?

The car is identical. Some features (navigation, voice assistant) may be China-market specific — we inform you of any differences before purchase.

Q7: Left-hand or right-hand drive?

All Chinese models are left-hand drive, matching Russian road standards perfectly.

Q8: Does the infotainment system support Russian?

Some models support Russian out of the box. If not, we recommend a Russian language firmware flash (3,000–8,000 ₽) or use CarPlay/Android Auto for navigation.

🛃 Customs & Documentation

Q9: Do I need to be present at customs?

No. We handle everything remotely. You just pick up your ПТС locally.

Q10: What are the import duty rates?

Approximately 48–54% of the customs value. We provide a precise estimate before you sign.

Q11: How long does customs clearance take?

7–10 business days with complete documentation. Express clearance available in 3–5 days (extra fee).

Q12: What if documents are lost?

We provide electronic copies of all documents. We assist with manufacturer communication for replacements if needed.

🚚 Shipping & Delivery

Q13: How long does shipping take from China to Russia?

🔧 Service & Maintenance
