How to safely import a car from China – step by step
Good afternoon, friends!
This is Alexander Safonov and the ImportAuto company.
In this video, I honestly and thoroughly explain how I came to import cars from China, Korea, and Japan, the fears I faced at the beginning, and why the turnkey solution turned out to be the most calming and understandable solution for clients.
No illusions, no big promises, and no advertising—just personal experience, practice, and real mistakes I've seen and experienced myself.
In this video, you'll learn:
— How I got into the car import business and how it all began
— What I was afraid of when ordering a car from abroad for the first time
— The top 3 most common mistakes when importing a car yourself
— How to recognize a shady scheme and scammers
— Why it's dangerous to send money without checks and documentation
— What the turnkey car ordering process looks like, step by step, from the first call to registration
In the video, I also explain our approach in detail:
We don't offer "the first option we come across," but rather build a clear and transparent process—with inspections, checks, documentation, and a clear understanding of who is responsible for what at each stage.
