In 2026, China implemented a new automobile export policy, which mainly includes two changes
Firstly, new cars that have been registered for less than 180 days will not be allowed to be exported;
Secondly, all new car exports must be modified according to requirements, and new cars must be modified for export in order to pass customs inspection and be allowed to be exported;

So if someone want to export Chinese cars to other countries, they must meet two conditions:
The first is to have a genuine inventory of used cars;
The second is to have export qualifications for new car modifications;

For Chinese suppliers exporting new cars, they must meet two conditions in order to successfully apply for an export license and complete the export work;
Firstly, obtaining the modification export qualification approved by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce;
The second is the announcement of corresponding export vehicle models approved by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology;

So if you want to import new cars from China in 2026, price is no longer the focus of negotiations.
More importantly, you must confirm with the supplier that they have both of the above conditions to ensure the smooth completion of your order;
The above information is hoped to be helpful for buyers who will continue to import cars from China in 2026.
