Why source iCAR from China for Russia
Direct dealer & auction sourcing
No intermediaries. We bid on Chinese dealer stock and che168 auction lanes ourselves, then move units into our Anting yard for inspection. 50-point pre-shipment check, photos, walk-around video before deposit clears.
Eight origin ports, real options
Shanghai · Ningbo · Guangzhou-Nansha · Shenzhen-Yantian · Tianjin Xingang · Dalian · Qingdao · Khorgos (overland). We pick the port based on your route, not the one closest to our warehouse.

Buyer briefing
iCAR isn't the Russia volume leader (that goes to Mercedes-Benz), but our buyers from Russia often pair a iCAR unit alongside a mainstream pick — the market skew is premium German SUVs + Chinese EV wave. In our current yard the moving iCAR models are Chery iCAR V23 2025 401 2WD Advanced Edition, Chery iCAR V23 2025 401 2WD Smart Driving Edition, Chery iCAR V23 2025 501 4WD Smart Driving Edition, weighted toward suv bodies, model years 2025-2026. The Russia sweet spot for this brand tends to land inside $40k-$90k CIF, once SBKTS and duty are stacked on.
iCAR in our stock is predominantly ICE (petrol/diesel), which for Russia still commands the practical daily-use case — winterisation matters — battery pack behaviour under −25°C needs SoC preserve mode. When we do have PHEV/BEV variants of iCAR in yard, we flag them explicitly in the quote.
Logistically: Vladivostok RoRo is our fastest to Far East (14 days); Novorossiysk container is the practical route to Moscow region. Certificate flow (SBKTS) is coordinated at our Shanghai end — shipping starts only after the cert is in hand, so no retrospective compliance drama at Vladivostok / Novorossiysk. Duty structure at destination is 15-30% + 20% VAT; we quote CIF including duty estimate in our first response.
Frequently asked
What is SBKTS and do I need one?
SBKTS (Vehicle Type Approval Certificate) is required for any imported car to be registered in Russia. We arrange SBKTS via our Vladivostok partner; budget USD 350-500 per unit + 5-7 days.
Is the 0% EV duty real?
Yes — EAEU agreement zeros import duty for BEVs through 2026-12-31. VAT (20%) still applies. Effective landed-cost reduction vs ICE is roughly 30-35%.
How are payments handled with sanctions in place?
CNY/RUB direct via our Hong Kong settlement entity, via Hong Kong correspondent. KYC required for KYB-cleared buyers.
Vladivostok vs Novorossiysk — which port?
Vladivostok for Far East and Siberia buyers (7-10 days RoRo). Novorossiysk for European Russia (45-55 days container, costs more but reaches Moscow region faster overland).
