[quote=GUEST37232,426780]Since July 1st, there is no more 小贸 cars. 小贸 = not imported via authorized distributor. In other words, no more used cars, because authorized distributor only import new cars. Therefore, 外商自带(foreign citizens importing for self-use) can only bring in new cars. Now, you need permit to import in this case, that permit needs to be authorized by manufacture/distributor. Which means, in theory, if you want to import a BMW, only BMW China can authorize the importation for you. Bottom line, as I said several times: For a regular car that can be bought in China, buy it in China. It's not worth the trouble to import it then pay taxes, you aren't saving anything, what's the point? Btw, before July 1st, it was easier to import, but paying taxes could not be avoided, so you aren't losing out financially.[/quote]
