Importing a Special Purpose Truck From China Step By Step

Importing a special purpose truck from China begins with confirming the chassis type and body configuration needed for the job site conditions and local road regulations.
Select a chassis from Sinotruk HOWO or SITRAK, or one of the partner brands including Dongfeng, FAW, JAC, Shacman, ISUZU, and IVECO, based on payload, drive configuration, and fuel efficiency requirements.
Provide technical drawings or specifications for the body, including tank volume, material, internal baffles, pump type, spray bar layout, and hose reel placement.
Receive a quote with lead time, payment terms, and export packaging details after the design is confirmed.
Place the order with a 30 percent T/T deposit and agree on EXW, FOB, CFR, or CIF trade terms.
The factory builds the truck on the chosen chassis, with 100 percent testing completed before delivery.
Photos and videos of the completed truck are sent before the 70 percent balance payment is made.
The truck is shipped by Ro-ro, bulk ship, or container from a China main port, depending on volume and destination.
Upon arrival, the truck is inspected and tested locally. Overseas engineers may visit for technical training and support.
The whole vehicle is guaranteed for one year, with core parts of some products covered for two years.
