Yes, you can combine different Chinese car brands and models into a single shipment, a common and cost-effective strategy for international dealers and fleet buyers.
Consolidating a multi-brand order is the most efficient way to build a diverse inventory without managing separate logistics and documentation for each manufacturer. For example, a dealer might want to test the market with a few BYD electric vehicles, Chery SUVs, and Geely sedans simultaneously. A fleet operator might need a mix of commercial trucks and passenger cars. Combining them into one shipment simplifies the entire process from procurement to delivery.
How a Mixed-Brand Shipment is Organized
Handling a multi-brand order requires careful coordination. At Starvia Automotive, we follow a clear, four-step process to ensure a smooth transaction.
Unified Sourcing and Procurement Instead of you needing to contact multiple factories, the process starts with your complete vehicle list. Our Factory-Direct New Car Sourcing service allows us to procure vehicles from various top manufacturers like BYD, Changan, Haval, or commercial vehicle makers based on your specific order. We handle the communication and procurement for all brands under one umbrella.
Port-Side Consolidation Once sourced, each vehicle is transported from its respective factory to a secure warehouse at the main departure port (such as Shanghai, Tianjin, or Guangzhou). Here, they are gathered, inspected, and prepared for export as a single consignment.
Flexible Shipping Method Container shipping is the ideal method for mixed-brand orders. It allows different vehicle types and sizes—from compact cars to large SUVs—to be securely loaded and braced together inside one or more 40-foot containers. This method offers excellent protection and is more flexible than RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping for varied consignments.
Streamlined Documentation Although the shipment contains vehicles from multiple brands, all necessary paperwork is consolidated. Starvia Automotive prepares a single set of master export documents, including one Bill of Lading, a comprehensive commercial invoice, and a unified packing list. This greatly simplifies the customs clearance process at your destination port, saving you valuable time and administrative hassle.
