Jinyu/CBT, a professional supply chain service provider specializing in high-end NEV exports, backed by group endorsement, a CBT-certified inspection system, and a global partner network, can provide you with one-stop procurement support covering model selection, configuration verification, video inspection, CIF quotations, export documentation, logistics, and customs clearance. Whether you want to try a single unit or make a bulk purchase, the Jinyu/CBT team can help you complete the transaction efficiently and securely.
I. Why Is Now the Best Time to Source Chinese NEVs?
First, China’s NEV industry has developed a complete export supply chain system. From Chongqing and Shandong to Henan, multiple core industrial clusters now possess high-efficiency NEV production and export logistics capabilities.
Second, the competitiveness of Chinese brands in the high-end NEV segment continues to strengthen. Smart luxury SUVs represented by AITO — including the M5, M7, M8, M9 and other premium NEV models — are becoming hotly contested categories sought after by overseas dealers. Demand for Chinese high-end NEVs in the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America is rising rapidly.
More importantly, 2026 is a key policy year for China’s NEV exports. Starting January 1, 2026, China will implement export license management for purely electric passenger vehicles. This means the procurement process will become more regulated and standardized — for compliant dealers, this is a benefit, not a barrier.

III. Model Selection: Which Car Suits Your Market?
Different market demands determine different model choices. Jinyu/CBT offers the full range of AITO high-end NEV models. Below is a positioning reference for each model:
| Model | Positioning | Suitable Market/Customers |
| AITO M9 | Flagship Luxury SUV | High-end showrooms, VIP clients, GCC countries |
| AITO M8 | Premium Family SUV | Family users, high-end showrooms, Central Asia/Southeast Asia |
| AITO M7 | Volume/Trial Order SUV | Dealer trial orders, entry-level procurement, emerging markets |
| AITO M5 | Urban Smart SUV | City commuting, young users, Southeast Asia/Latin America |
When selecting a model, the following factors must be considered:
- EV or EREV? Markets with well-developed charging infrastructure are suitable for pure electric (EV); regions with limited charging facilities should prioritize extended-range (EREV).
- Left-hand drive or right-hand drive? Confirm the driving direction requirement of the target country.
- Local regulations and certification: Different countries have different requirements for emission, safety, and battery standards for imported vehicles.
IV. Vehicle Inspection and Configuration Confirmation: The Core of Procurement
Vehicle information and documentation must be completely consistent; otherwise, customs declaration will be directly affected.
Jinyu/CBT provides an industry-leading inspection service system:
- Video inspection: View the vehicle’s exterior, interior, nameplate, and VIN in real-time via video.
- Configuration verification: Confirm that the version, seat layout, color, and major options match the order.
- VIN/Nameplate/Mileage verification: Ensure vehicle information is authentic and traceable.
- CBT 112-Point Inspection Report: Provides a complete inspection report from the CBT professional inspection body.
Key confirmation items before procurement:
- Vehicle model and configuration version
- Production year and VIN
- Battery information and mileage
- Vehicle condition photos or videos
- Supplier background and authorization qualifications
- Payment terms and inspection options
- Export documentation requirements
- Estimated logistics timeline
V. Export Document Checklist: Not a Single One Can Be Missed

VI. How to Obtain a CIF Quotation?
CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) quotation is the pricing form that overseas dealers care about most. To obtain an accurate CIF quotation, you need to provide the following information on the Jinyu/CBT Premium China NEV & Smart SUV Export page:
- Destination country and destination port (e.g., Jebel Ali, Dubai / Almaty, Kazakhstan)
- Model and configuration version (e.g., AITO M9 6-seat Flagship Edition)
- Quantity (single-unit trial order or bulk purchase)
- Energy type (EV or EREV)
- Color and seat layout
Why is this information crucial? Because the CIF price is influenced by multiple factors such as destination port freight charges, destination country tariffs, and insurance costs. Quotations can vary significantly based on different ports, quantities, and models.
Jinyu/CBT’s quotation process: After receiving your inquiry information, the sales team will respond within 2 hours and provide a precise quotation based on country, port, model, quantity, EV/EREV, color, seat layout, and other details.
VII. Logistics and Customs Clearance: From China to Your Showroom
Jinyu/CBT’s one-stop export service covers the entire process from configuration confirmation to delivery at the destination port:
Logistics Mode Selection
- Bulk complete vehicles: Prioritize Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessel transport, which offers convenient loading/unloading, low cost, and minimal vehicle wear.
- Loose units/NEVs: Use 40HQ containers with proper securing and protection; NEVs must use a dangerous goods compliant freight forwarder.
Domestic Customs Declaration Process
- Declare online through the China International Trade Single Window.
- Upload the complete set of documents; customs reviews and inspects (verifying VIN, engine number, vehicle condition).
- After inspection without issues, customs releases and arranges shipment.
Key Precautions
- Strictly follow dangerous goods transport regulations for NEVs and complete maritime filing in advance.
- Submit the arrival report within 3 days after shipment to avoid affecting tax refunds.
- Be sure to choose a professional automotive export logistics provider and lock in shipping schedules early.
- Purchase marine insurance at 1%-2% of the cargo value.
VIII. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
