Import Cars from China to Luxembourg

Luxembourg is landlocked, so vehicles arrive via Antwerp before continuing by road โ€” a short, efficient final leg given Luxembourg's proximity to Belgium. MG and BYD both have real, growing demand among Luxembourg's buyers.

At DriveSino, we handle the entire export process from China to Luxembourg โ€” vehicle sourcing, multi-point inspection, export documentation, shipping to Antwerp, and EU homologation support.

Why Import from China to Luxembourg?

  • Price advantage: direct import from China offers a further price advantage even against Luxembourg's official Chinese-brand dealer networks
  • Short final leg: Antwerp's proximity to Luxembourg means a fast, straightforward road transport leg after sea transit
  • Left-hand drive standard: Luxembourg drives on the right, matching the LHD configuration Chinese manufacturers produce as standard
