Before you pay

What Rayda will verify for your import route

Import policy pages help buyers prepare questions, but final trade decisions should be based on a confirmed vehicle, confirmed documents, and a confirmed local clearing route.

Vehicle eligibility

Model year, fuel type, steering side, buyer type, and destination rules are checked before shipment advice.

Document readiness

Invoice, bill of lading, certificate of origin, VIN/chassis details, production date, and configuration evidence are reviewed.

Photos and inspection

Real photos, videos, chassis/VIN photos, inspection notes, and loading evidence can be arranged before final commitment.

Route and responsibility

FOB/CIF route, port charges, local broker confirmation, and buyer-side import responsibilities are clarified case by case.

Rayda's role is to support China-side sourcing, inspection, export documents, and shipping coordination. Destination customs, tax, registration, and final import approval must be confirmed by the buyer's local broker and official authorities.
