How long does the whole import process take from China?

The complete import process from China typically takes 30–60 days from the day you confirm your vehicle to delivery at your destination port. Here's the breakdown:

• Vehicle sourcing & purchase: 1–5 days (same-day if choosing from existing inventory)
• Export documentation preparation: 3–7 days
• Sea freight transit: 12–42 days depending on destination (Middle East: 12-20 days, Africa: 18-35 days, Europe: 25-42 days)
• Customs clearance at destination: 3–14 days depending on port efficiency

Door-to-door delivery (from selection to arrival at your address) is typically 40–65 days total. DriveSino provides regular tracking updates throughout the process.
