Promoting Compliance and Sustainable Growth in the Global Market

On November 14, 2025, China’s Ministry of Commerce, together with four other government departments, issued the Notice on Further Strengthening the Administration of Used Vehicle Exports.

This new policy introduces multiple measures aimed at improving compliance, enhancing transparency, and ensuring the healthy and orderly development of China’s used vehicle export industry.

As a professional automotive export service provider, Sieton Group closely monitors regulatory updates and provides the following interpretation for our international partners and customers.

01 | Key Highlights of the New Policy

According to the notice, the government will strengthen management in six major areas:

1. Strict control on exporting new vehicles disguised as used vehicles

This measure ensures the authenticity and legitimacy of all exported used cars.

2. Regulated procedures for export license application and issuance

More transparent and standardized processes will help reduce irregular competition.

3. Dynamic supervision and exit mechanism for export enterprises

Enterprises that fail to meet compliance requirements may face restrictions or disqualification.

4. Stricter requirements for modified vehicle export permits

Only vehicles that meet strict modification criteria and documentation standards may be exported.

5. Enhancing enterprises’ international business and compliance capabilities

Encouraging exporters to strengthen overseas operations, risk control, and service quality.

6. Improving supporting systems for used vehicle exports

Including vehicle inspection, logistics, finance, and after-sales service.

These measures collectively aim to build a more transparent, standardized, and competitive environment for China’s automotive export industry.
