Why source Li Auto from China for Yemen
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.

Buyer briefing
Li Auto isn't the Yemen volume leader (that goes to Toyota), but our buyers from Yemen often pair a Li Auto unit alongside a mainstream pick — the market skew is overwhelmingly Toyota — Toyota has held roughly 90% of new-vehicle share — with Lexus as the premium tier and Hyundai the main Korean used import. In our current yard the moving Li Auto models are L8, L9, MEGA, weighted toward suv + mpv bodies, model years 2020-2026, averaging around $45k pre-shipping. The Yemen sweet spot for this brand tends to land inside $12k-$25k CIF, once YSMO CoC and duty are stacked on.
As a BEV/PHEV-heavy brand, Li Auto lines up with the Yemen electrification arc — fuel supply volatility, not tax, is the binding constraint on Yemeni buyers — the tariff structure gives no EV advantage, so ICE remains the practical choice. Battery SoH certificate and UN3480 shipping compliance are baked into our export flow (BEVs ship container only, 30-60% SOC).
Logistically: Aden is the government-controlled gateway and needs no UNVIM clearance; Al Hodeidah in the north is Houthi-run and adds UNVIM clearance plus 5-10 days. Certificate flow (YSMO CoC) is coordinated at our Shanghai end — shipping starts only after the cert is in hand, so no retrospective compliance drama at Aden. Duty structure at destination is 5-25% by vehicle age + 5% sales tax; we quote CIF including duty estimate in our first response.
Frequently asked
What is the import duty on a used car into Yemen?
The statutory tariff under Law No. 10 of 2012 (amending Law 41/2005) bands passenger vehicles by age: 5% for the year of production and the next, 15% for 2-10 years, and 25% for over 10 years, plus a 5% sales tax. A 2024 Yemen Customs announcement reported a 50% cut in car customs fees, and enforcement is reported to differ between Aden and Sana'a/Hodeidah. Published figures elsewhere range from a flat 5% to over 20% — we give you the tariff worksheet for your specific unit rather than a single headline number.
How old can a used car be to enter Yemen?
A December 2021 cabinet decision caps imported vehicles at 5 years excluding the year of manufacture, superseding the older 7-year cap under Customs Tariff Law 41/2005. Some commercial import guides still publish 7 years. Temporary-admission and Triptych vehicles are exempt. Confirm the current reading with your clearing agent before deposit.
What conformity certificate does Yemen require?
A YSMO certificate of conformity from the Yemen Standardization, Metrology and Quality Control Organization, issued on pre-shipment inspection. Chinese exports are inspected under the 2013 AQSIQ-YSMO memorandum of understanding and clear on the CIQ pre-shipment certificate, which makes China-origin stock straightforward for Yemen.
Which port should I use — Aden or Al Hodeidah?
Aden. It is government-controlled, is the main RoRo and container gateway, and requires no UNVIM clearance. Al Hodeidah in the north is Houthi-run and needs UNVIM clearance, which adds 5-10 days. Vehicle imports are generally containerised rather than pure RoRo.
