Can Individual Buyers Import a Used Jetour T2 from China? Customs & Process Breakdown

Yes. An individual can buy and import a single used Jetour T2 from China — our minimum order is one unit. The process is the same as for a dealer, but you will rely more on a local clearing agent, and you must check your country's rules for private imports before paying.

What is different for an individual buyer?

• Some countries have separate rules or duty rates for private imports
• You will usually need a clearing agent at the destination port
• A shared container can lower the shipping cost for one car

What does the process look like?

1. Check your country's private-import rules (age, steering side, powertrain).
2. Ask for units: year, engine and budget. We send options with photos and prices.
3. Review the unit report and ask for a live video if needed.
4. Pay against a proforma invoice that names the car by VIN.
5. We clear the car for export and ship it; you receive the documents.
6. Your clearing agent clears customs; you register the car.

What will customs ask for?

Usually the commercial invoice, bill of lading, certificate of origin and the vehicle's export documents, plus your identity documents. Some countries ask for a pre-shipment inspection or conformity certificate. Check our market pages and confirm with your agent.

Which costs should you budget for?

• The car (FOB) or car plus freight and insurance (CIF)
• Import duty and taxes
• Port and clearing-agent fees
• Registration and local tests
• Transport from the port to your home

Which mistakes should you avoid?

• Buying before checking whether your country accepts the car (for example, petrol car limits in Ethiopia)
• Paying against an invoice that does not name the exact vehicle
• Believing offers for a 2020–2022 T2 — the T2 launched in 2023 (model years)
• Forgetting that China-market units default to Chinese menus
