How to Export a Used Jetour T2 from China: 2026 Buyer Route

Exporting a used Jetour T2 from China takes six steps: check your import rules, choose the model year, review unit reports, sign a proforma invoice, let the exporter clear the car for export, and ship it. This guide explains each step from the buyer's side, with the questions to ask at every stage.

Step 1: Which import rules apply in your country?

Check three things before choosing a car. Steering side: used China-market T2s are left-hand drive, so they suit right-hand-traffic countries. Age limits: some countries restrict older used imports — every T2 is 2023 or newer, which helps. Powertrain rules: some countries treat petrol, hybrid and electric cars differently; Ethiopia, for example, has restricted petrol car imports since 2024. Our market pages summarise what we know for eight popular destinations.

Step 2: Which used Jetour T2 year should you buy?

Remember the T2 started production in September 2023. There is no 2020, 2021 or 2022 T2 — see the model year guide if a seller offers one.

Step 3: What should a unit report include?

A serious exporter sends a report for each specific car before you pay. Ours includes photos from every side, interior photos with screens on, a cold-start video, a warning-light check, the odometer reading, the VIN plate, and — for i-DM units — a battery and charging test. Ask for a live video call if anything is unclear. Our inspection guide lists what to look for.

Step 4: What goes on the proforma invoice?

The proforma invoice (PI) should list each vehicle by VIN, the price, the incoterm (FOB or CIF), payment terms, the departure port and the PI's validity. Payment terms are agreed for each order. Do not pay against a PI that does not name the exact vehicle.

Step 5: How is a used car cleared for export in China?

The exporter buys the car from its Chinese owner, deregisters it from Chinese plates, and completes export customs. You should receive photos as the car moves: at purchase, at the export yard and at loading. Third-party inspection can be arranged on request before loading.

Step 6: Which shipping method and documents?

Ro-Ro suits larger quantities to ports with Ro-Ro service; containers protect the car and suit small or inland orders. Overland routes serve Central Asia. You should receive the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and the vehicle's export documents. Under FOB you book the ship; under CIF the exporter does — both are defined by the ICC Incoterms® rules.

How long does the whole route take?

In-stock units ship within 10 working days after payment. Sea or overland transit depends on the route and schedule, and is confirmed on your quote. The full process is on our export process page.
