Before committing to a new supplier, Saudi dealers should verify the exporter's MOFCOM license and brand authorizations to ensure they can source the models you need. Ask about third-party inspection support (SGS or BV) and whether pre-shipment VIN confirmation is provided. Request a sample CIF quote to understand what's included: port transport, insurance, and documentation. Clarify the typical delivery timeline (Starvia averages 22–35 days to the nearest port). Inquire about after-sales support for warranty issues and spare parts availability, especially for models you plan to stock. Finally, ask for references or case studies of previous exports to Saudi Arabia or neighboring markets.
Key areas to probe:
- Compliance: MOFCOM license, export permits.
- Inspection: SGS/BV reports, vehicle condition checks.
- Pricing: CIF breakdown, hidden fees.
- Logistics: Shipping methods (RoRo vs. container), port of loading.
- After-sales: Warranty handling, spare parts supply.
