Navigating China's New November 14 Export Policy: Why UniCommotors Is Your Ideal Partner for Zero-Kilometer Used EV Exports

On November 14, 2025, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, together with the Ministry of Industry & Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, and the General Administration of Customs, released a landmark notice: "Further Strengthening the Management of Used-Vehicle Exports."

This policy represents a pivotal moment for the zero-kilometer used EV export business — and positions UniCommotors strongly to support global B2B customers in navigating this transformed landscape.

 What Does the New Policy Mean?

Stricter Scrutiny on Exported "New but Registered" Vehicles

• Vehicles registered domestically for less than 180 days before export must now provide a manufacturer-issued after-sales service confirmation.

• This means those "zero-km, but newly registered" vehicles will face higher compliance requirements, especially for exports.

Tighter Export Licensing & Data Requirements

• Exporters must ensure the declared brand, model, VIN, registration date, and transfer-to-export date are fully consistent with domestic vehicle registration records.

•  Applications with discrepancies or missing data may be refused.

Enhanced Quality and After-Sales Guarantees

• Exporters need to prove they have a viable after-sales plan in the destination country, including maintenance network and parts supply.

•  Regulators will monitor for false declarations, misuse of the "used-vehicle" export channel, and unauthorized "grey export" behaviors.

Stronger Local Supervision

• Local Commerce Departments (provinces/cities) will intensify spot checks of export enterprises.

• Multi-agency cooperation (Commerce, Customs, Public Security) will lead to more stringent enforcement of export legitimacy.

 Why UniCommotors Is Uniquely Positioned

At UniCommotors, we're already well-aligned with this new policy — and here's why working with us is a strategic advantage for B2B customers:

• Trusted OEM & 4S-Dealer Network

As a large authorized group dealership partner across several Chinese brands, we have direct access to inventory from factory-authorized 4S sites. This means:

• Clean origin, factory-conformant documentation

• Faster, legally sound onboarding of vehicles

•  Better negotiation with OEMs to secure "after-sales confirmation letters" or other required guarantees

•  Robust Export & Compliance Infrastructure

We already operate a specialized export arm with:

• Expansive export experience (logistics, customs, documentation)

• Established processes for vehicle evaluation & "used-vehicle" status certification

• Dedicated compliance teams that stay on top of evolving export policies

• After-Sales Capability at Destination

Thanks to our OEM relationships, we can help coordinate:

• Manufacturer-authorized service centers in export markets

• Parts supply plans tailored for export-sold EVs

• Local partner introductions to ensure solid maintenance coverage

• Scale + Risk Management

By working with UniCommotors, B-side partners can avoid:

• Fragmented sourcing

• Legal and compliance risk from mis-declaring "used export" vehicles

• Expensive last-minute documentation hurdles

What This Means for B-Side Customers (Exporters, Dealers, Trading Houses)

If you are an exporter, trading house, or international dealer, here's how you can leverage our strength:

• Partner with us to source compliant zero-km used EVs

We can provide high-quality BYD, Chery, and other EVs directly from 4S inventory, with clean registration documentation.

With our OEM network and compliance capacity, we can help you assemble all required documents (e.g., after-sales confirmation, export-license-grade DUs).

• Design long-term after-sales strategies

Work with us to tailor service network plans in your market, backed by OEM-authorized centers.

• Scale confidently while minimizing risk

Use our proven export experience to help mitigate regulatory risk, reduce documentation rejections, and ensure a smooth supply chain.
