Buyer approval gates: ZEEX does not substitute a different vehicle, condition standard or route without confirming the material change with the buyer.
End-to-end execution

Seven capabilities. One accountable workflow.

The solution is organized around buyer decisions and order evidence—not a list of isolated administrative services.

Translate local retail demand into a workable China sourcing brief, then identify matching new or pre-owned vehicles across relevant channels.

Control and protection

Manage risk where it actually occurs.

A protection promise is useful only when its trigger, evidence, responsibility and remedy are defined. The applicable scope is confirmed in the order-specific service agreement.

If ZEEX executes an approved purchase but cannot obtain the confirmed vehicle because of eligible seller default or non-delivery, the case is handled under the applicable service agreement.

Verified new damage during eligible collection, domestic transfer or handling managed by ZEEX is reviewed under the agreed custody terms.

VIN, available documents, observable condition and supporting evidence are reviewed against the customer-approved vehicle and selected inspection scope.

The China-side export route, required order documents and transport handover are aligned before shipment preparation begins.

Eligibility, exclusions, evidence requirements, resolution methods and responsibility limits are defined in the signed order-specific service agreement.
Evidence, not adjectives

Verify the operator behind the promise.

Professional buyers need evidence. Appropriate qualification, transaction and process records can support due diligence while protecting unrelated customer data.

Export capability

Ask for current qualification evidence showing the relevant entity, issuing authority, reference and available validity information.

QUALIFICATION / REDACTED COPYAvailable for appropriate due diligence

A redacted inspection report, photo set and walkaround-video sample show what information may be available before purchase approval.

Frequently asked questions

Before your first order.

Practical answers for professional vehicle importers and local used-car dealers.

What types of buyers does ZEEX work with?
We primarily serve professional auto importers, local used-car dealers and trading companies with established local retail or distribution capability.
Can ZEEX source both used and new vehicles from China?
Yes. Availability depends on the model, specification, condition and current supply. We confirm what can be sourced before a commercial commitment is made.
How do I approve a vehicle before purchase?
We align the specification and commercial scope, then provide the available vehicle information and evidence for your written approval before acquisition.
What inspection evidence can be provided?
Depending on the agreed scope, evidence may include identity checks, exterior and interior records, functional checks, photos, walkaround video and third-party inspection reports.
Which international shipping methods are available?
Common options include RoRo, container, land and rail transport. The practical route depends on destination, vehicle type, carrier availability and local import conditions.
Can ZEEX guarantee import approval in my country?
No supplier can replace the importer’s local compliance review. Buyers must confirm destination-country eligibility, duties, taxes, registration and licensing requirements before purchase.
