Import Cars from China to Cyprus
Cyprus drives on the left and requires right-hand-drive (RHD) vehicles for private registration — a real constraint given DriveSino's catalog is sourced from mainland China's domestic market, which is left-hand-drive (LHD) as standard. There's genuine, specific demand from Cyprus for Chinese brands — Chery in particular, alongside Changan, Haval, and Avatr — so we'd rather explain the real situation upfront than have you order something that can't be registered.
Contact DriveSino directly with your intended use case before ordering, so we can confirm what's realistically possible for your specific model.
¿Por Qué Importar de China a Chipre?
- Be clear on the constraint first: Cyprus requires RHD for private road registration. DriveSino's catalog is LHD mainland-China-market stock, so it's not a direct fit for standard private registration
- Real demand for Chery specifically: Cyprus buyers search for Chery models — sedans and SUVs — more than almost any other single Chinese brand in this market
- RHD versions do exist: Chery, Changan, and Haval all build RHD variants for other right-hand-drive export markets, separate from the LHD domestic stock DriveSino currently lists — ask us about sourcing feasibility for your specific model
- Talk to us before ordering: if your use case doesn't require private road registration, or if RHD sourcing is feasible for your model, we'll tell you plainly either way

Derechos de Importación e Impuestos para Chipre
Cyprus, as an EU member, applies EU import duty and VAT on vehicles from outside the EU, though the exact treatment depends heavily on vehicle type and whether it's a standard CBU import. Because DriveSino's current inventory is LHD and most Cyprus import scenarios that apply to it are non-standard, duty figures here would be more likely to mislead than help — contact DriveSino directly to discuss the tax treatment for your specific, confirmed use case.

Documentos Necesarios y Cumplimiento
Proporcionado por DriveSino (Lado de Exportación)
DriveSino provides standard export-side documentation for shipping from China to Cyprus once a vehicle and use case are confirmed as workable:
- Certificate of Origin — Proves vehicle was manufactured in China
- Bill of Lading — Shipping document from the carrier
- Commercial Invoice — Transaction value and vehicle details
- Export Customs Declaration — Filed with Chinese customs
- Vehicle Title/Certificate — Proof of ownership
Import-side requirements in Cyprus (RHD compliance, EU type approval or individual approval, and Cyprus Road Transport Department registration) should be confirmed before ordering — this is the step most likely to trip up a Cyprus import that skipped it.

Consejos para Importar a Chipre
- Confirm your use case and RHD/LHD eligibility with DriveSino before ordering, not after
- If you specifically want a Chery, Changan, or Haval in RHD, ask DriveSino about sourcing feasibility rather than assuming the standard catalog applies
- Check current EU type-approval and Cyprus registration requirements directly with the Road Transport Department
- Factor in total landed cost only once you know duty/tax treatment applies to your confirmed scenario

Can I import a car from DriveSino's catalog to Cyprus for private use?
Most listings in our catalog are left-hand-drive (LHD), sourced from mainland China's domestic market. Cyprus requires right-hand-drive (RHD) vehicles for private road registration, so most catalog listings are not suited for that purpose. Contact us before ordering to confirm whether your specific situation is workable.
Is Chery available for import to Cyprus?
There's strong, specific demand for Chery in Cyprus. Chery does build RHD versions for some export markets, separate from the LHD domestic-market stock we currently list — contact DriveSino to discuss feasibility for your specific model.
Does Cyprus use right-hand drive or left-hand drive cars?
Cyprus drives on the left side of the road and requires right-hand-drive (RHD) vehicles for private registration.
How long does it take to ship a car from China to Cyprus?
Sea transit from China to Limassol is 25–33 days. This assumes a vehicle that's actually eligible for your intended use in Cyprus.
How much does it cost to ship a car from China to Cyprus?
Freight starts from $3,795 USD. Total landed cost depends heavily on your specific use case and duty/tax treatment, which we confirm individually given the RHD/LHD consideration above.
What Chinese car brands build right-hand-drive versions?
Chery, Changan, Haval, and BYD all produce RHD versions of at least some models for other export markets. Availability varies by model and isn't the same as our LHD domestic-market catalog — ask DriveSino about your specific model.
Who do I contact to check if my Cyprus import plan is workable?
Contact DriveSino directly via WhatsApp or email with your intended use case before ordering. We'd rather confirm feasibility upfront than have a shipment arrive that can't be registered.
