How should the first vehicle batch for Algeria manage protective-film removal timing?

Updated 2026-09-10By Starvia Automotive

Short Answer

A practical method for dealers in Algeria to verify protective-film removal timing, retain evidence, and control deviations in Chinese vehicle orders.

For Algeria, inventory supervisor and branch finance should jointly approve protective-film removal timing instead of relying on a verbal handover. Keep the document version, VIN, location, status date, and custodian, and the decision on protective-film removal timing together. For protective-film removal timing, set the VIN-level inventory ledger, the vehicle photos, and the custody record against the physical vehicle, the system status, the keys, and the storage-maintenance log. The Algeria team can also use this related FAQ to align purchase and delivery records. Lock any VIN whose records do not match the physical vehicle after film removal, or that shows damage, until the cause is resolved before sale or transfer. If one document covers several dealer inventory control matters, record a separate accepted or open decision for protective-film removal timing.
