Importing BYD electric vehicles from China at factory-direct wholesale pricing requires a clear understanding of each step in the export process. This walkthrough outlines the timeline from initial inquiry to after-sales support, with a focus on transparent costs and verifiable data. BYD Global Export, an independent export trading company, sources new and used BYD vehicles for overseas buyers in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. The process is designed to provide full landed-cost visibility, including FOB prices, freight, duties, and VAT, so dealers and importers can make informed decisions.
Inquiry
Your first step is to specify the BYD model, trim, and destination market. BYD Global Export offers 157 new BYD trims at factory wholesale pricing and 477 real used listings with actual photos and verified mileage. For new vehicles, you can request a factory price range, minimum order quantity (MOQ), lead time, and warranty terms up front. Used vehicles are sourced from the China domestic market, and each listing includes that specific vehicle's mileage, registration year, engine specification, and photos. Pricing for used vehicles is confirmed directly over WhatsApp with the sales team, not guessed from a catalogue figure. During the inquiry, you should also confirm the drive type—left-hand or right-hand—since markets vary. Shipping is quoted to 15 export markets worldwide.
Quote
Once the model and destination are confirmed, you will receive a full landed-cost breakdown in writing. This itemized quote includes the unit price, freight, insurance, duty, and VAT. The quote is generated using the landed-cost calculator, which provides an instant estimate. No hidden fees are added after the deposit is paid. For example, a new BYD Yuan PLUS (Atto 3) 2026 630KM Surpass Trim exported to the United Arab Emirates will have a specific FOB price, freight cost, duty rate, and VAT. Duty and VAT rates vary by country; you can verify current rates using World Bank or IMF data. The quote also includes the proforma invoice for your records and procurement approval.
Sample
For new vehicles, a sample is not typically provided due to the bulk nature of factory-direct sourcing. However, for used vehicles, you can request a third-party inspection or rely on the verified mileage and actual photos provided. BYD Global Export lists real used BYD vehicles sourced from the China domestic market. Each listing shows the specific vehicle's actual mileage, registration year, engine specification, and photos. If you require a physical sample, you may arrange a visit to the vehicle location in China, but this is not a standard part of the export process. The focus is on providing accurate documentation and transparency so you can assess the vehicle remotely.
Production
For new vehicles, production is scheduled according to the factory's allocation. BYD Global Export sources new BYD vehicles for bulk export directly from factory-allocation channels in Shenzhen. Every model is published with a factory price range, MOQ, lead time, and warranty terms up front. The lead time depends on the model and trim; typically, it ranges from a few weeks to a few months. For used vehicles, there is no production phase—the vehicle is already available and will be prepared for shipment. In both cases, you will receive updates on the status. The production phase for new vehicles ensures that your order is built to the specifications agreed upon in the quote.
QC
Quality control is a critical step. For new vehicles, QC is performed at the factory and during pre-shipment inspection at the port. For used vehicles, each listing includes verified mileage and actual photos, and you can request additional inspections. BYD Global Export ensures that every vehicle meets the export requirements. The QC process includes checking the battery health, which is especially important for used EVs. You can refer to the blog article "How to Verify a Used BYD's Battery Health Before You Buy" for detailed guidance. After QC, the vehicles are prepared for loading at Shenzhen Yantian Port. A full export document set is prepared, including commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and Certificate of Origin.
Shipping
Vehicles load at Shenzhen Yantian Port with a full export document set. The shipping process begins once the balance payment is received before container loading. You will receive the bill of lading and other documents to clear customs at the destination. Freight costs are included in your landed-cost quote, so there are no surprises. Shipping is quoted to 15 export markets worldwide. The lead time for shipping depends on the destination; for example, shipments to Latin America may take longer than to Southeast Asia. BYD Global Export provides tracking and updates throughout the transit. For a full freight breakdown, you can refer to the blog article "How Much Does It Cost to Ship a BYD from China? Full Freight Breakdown."
After-sales
After the vehicle arrives, BYD Global Export provides after-sales support for documentation and any export-related issues. The company is an independent export trading company, not an authorized BYD dealer, distributor, or affiliate of BYD Auto Co., Ltd. BYD is a registered trademark of its respective owner, referenced here for descriptive purposes only. For warranty terms on new vehicles, these are provided up front. For used vehicles, warranty may vary. You can contact the sales team via WhatsApp at +8615556920288 or email at mengluca2026@gmail.com for any after-sales inquiries. The goal is to ensure a smooth import experience with transparent communication.
In summary, factory-direct sourcing and wholesale pricing for BYD vehicle exports involve a structured timeline: inquiry, quote, sample (if applicable), production, QC, shipping, and after-sales. By following this process, overseas dealers and importers can achieve full landed-cost visibility and make informed decisions. For more details, visit the BYD Global Export website.
