About the service

What to know before shipping a vehicle

West Matterhorn arranges vehicle shipping from china for private clients, dealers, importers and businesses that need a clear route, realistic timing and control at every stage. We consider the assignment from the purchase or storage location through final handover.

China is especially important for electric vehicles, new brands, commercial transport and vehicle batches. Differences involve documents, export requirements, port logistics and available shipping options. We therefore check the vehicle condition, location, dimensions, loading options and timing priorities before selecting a route.

This page explains the available solutions, documents, risks, timing and relevant projects so clients can choose a route for a premium vehicle, EV, commercial transport, vehicle batch or urgent shipment.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How long does vehicle shipping from china take?

Timing depends on the collection point, port, shipping method, vessel or car-transporter schedule and destination country. Sea delivery can take several weeks. Exact timing depends on the port, schedule, quantity and final destination.

What determines the shipping cost?

Cost depends on the distance to the port or terminal, shipping method, vehicle dimensions, container, insurance, urgency and local delivery after arrival.

Can you arrange door-to-door shipping?

Yes. We can manage the route, documents, vehicle collection, international transport, partner coordination and handover to the owner.

Which shipping method should I choose?

RoRo or a car transporter often works for roadworthy vehicles. For valuable, rare or sensitive vehicles we consider a container, enclosed transport or air freight. The final choice depends on the vehicle and route.

Can you ship a damaged vehicle?

Yes, but the route is planned separately. We need to understand the condition, loading options, port requirements and suitable shipping method in advance.
