Because vehicles are high-value goods, we do not currently support direct online checkout or automatic website payment.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nFirst, browse our vehicle catalog and check whether your required model is listed. Vehicles listed in our catalog are usually available in our China-based inventory or sourcing network, which normally allows faster shipment.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIf you find a suitable model, submit an inquiry on the vehicle page and leave your contact details. If your inquiry is sent before 18:00 Beijing Time, our team will usually contact you the same day. If it is sent after 18:00 Beijing Time, we will usually respond within 12 hours. We will also consider your time zone and preferred contact time.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIf the model you need is not listed, send us the model name, configuration, color, quantity, destination country, and any special requirements. Our China supply-chain team will check available sourcing options. Non-stock vehicles may require a longer lead time.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAfter we contact you, the normal process is: confirm the model, color, trim, and configuration; provide vehicle videos and photos showing the VIN, nameplate, optional equipment, exterior walkaround, and key details; sign the purchase contract; confirm the price, shipping method, destination, configuration details, and payment account; start export-license and logistics procedures after payment is received; complete customs declaration and shipment; then track the shipment until the vehicle arrives at the destination.<\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                    <div class=\"ai-steel-faq__item\">\n                                        <button type=\"button\" class=\"ai-steel-faq__question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                            <em>05<\/em>\n                                            <span>What import rules apply in my country?<\/span>\n                                            <i><\/i>\n                                        <\/button>\n\n                                        <div class=\"ai-steel-faq__answer\">\n                                            <div>Vehicle import rules vary by country.
