Buying vehicles & auto parts from China
Written from the sourcing work we do, not from the suppliers listed above.
- How do you tell a real manufacturer from a trading company?
- Stamping, casting or moulding plus a dimensional inspection room with real metrology. IATF 16949 held in the factory’s own name is what separates an automotive supplier from an aftermarket packer.
- What certification is needed to import vehicles & auto parts into the EU or US?
- The EU requires ECE type approval — the E-mark — for lighting, glass, brakes and tyres; without it the part cannot legally be sold for road use. The US requires DOT marking against FMVSS, with EPA rules for emissions-related parts. E-bikes follow EN 15194 plus battery transport rules.
- What order minimums and tooling costs should I expect?
- Roughly 500–5,000 pieces, with stamping dies and casting tooling from $5,000 to $100,000.
- What goes wrong most often in this category?
- Dimensional drift as tooling wears, and friction material substituted in brake components. Require a first-article inspection report with dimensions, and a dimensional report per lot thereafter.
