Compared to Global cars, the prices of Chinese vehicles are often only a third of Swiss car prices, making them very cost-effective. Additionally, China has achieved great success in transitioning to electric mobility, so their performance and comfort have already reached a leading position.

The profit margin for importing Chinese cars (especially new energy vehicles) globally generally ranges from 30% to 50%, varying by region and model. For example:

• In European markets (e.g., Germany, France), a Chinese EV priced at ~$20,000 (FOB China) can be sold locally for ~$30,000–$35,000, with a margin of 35%–45% (after deducting shipping, tariffs, and local certification costs).
• In Southeast Asian markets (e.g., Thailand, Indonesia), the margin is slightly lower (30%–40%) due to lower local car prices, but the cost advantage of Chinese models still holds.

ZEEXAUTO handles all export processes for you, including international shipping. However, you need to ensure that you can independently manage the import procedures within your local territory. Therefore, it is recommended that you have import experience, or commission a local professional import service provider to handle these matters.

First, Chinese electric vehicles are in a leading position, so you should first consider electric cars, as they offer an above-average driving experience. Additionally, there are currently no import incentives for electric vehicles in Switzerland. If your budget is limited, combustion engine vehicles can also be a very good choice.
