Zero-Mileage Export Policy 2025
Why Zero-Mileage Export Matters in 2025
Starting 2025, China has officially standardized and strengthened the Zero-Mileage Export system for all new energy vehicles (EV, PHEV, hybrid).
This policy directly affects overseas importers purchasing BYD, Fangchengbao, Geely, Chery, XPeng, and other Chinese brands.
The goal is clear:
To guarantee that every exported vehicle is 100% brand-new, unused, and fully compliant for international customs clearance.
For importers in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, CIS and Europe, understanding this policy is essential for smooth customs procedures and risk-free vehicle sales.
What Is Zero-Mileage Export?
Zero-Mileage Export means:
-
Vehicles must have 0–5 km total mileage
-
No temporary license plates allowed
-
No public-road driving or test runs
-
Vehicles must travel via enclosed carrier or flatbed
-
Customs will check and record dashboard mileage
-
Exporter must provide Zero-Mileage Declaration & compliance documents
This ensures that the vehicle is a factory-new unit, not a demo car, test-drive car, or road-used vehicle.
2025 Policy Updates (What Changed?)
The updated rules are more strict and standardized across all manufacturers:
1. Mileage Verification at Customs
Customs officers now photograph and document the odometer reading.
Vehicles exceeding limits may face delays or rejection.
2. No Temporary Plates or Road Driving
Vehicles must be transported directly from factory to port under supervision.
3. Mandatory Zero-Mileage Document Package
Every export shipment requires:
-
Zero-Mileage Declaration
-
Factory Release Certificate
-
VIN Inspection Photo
-
Pre-Export Test Report
-
Official invoice & packing list
-
COC (if applicable)
4. Centralized Factory Logistics
Most brands (including BYD) now require unified logistics from factory to export yard.
This improves transparency and removes market-risk vehicle sources.
How Zero-Mileage Export Benefits Overseas Importers
1. Guaranteed “Brand-New Vehicle” Status
No test-drives, no hidden mileage, no road usage.
2. Faster, Cleaner Customs Clearance
Especially for GCC countries where mileage limits are strict:
-
UAE
-
Saudi Arabia
-
Kuwait
-
Qatar
-
Oman
-
Bahrain
Zero-Mileage reduces the risk of being classified as a used car.
3. Higher Resale Value in Local Markets
Customers trust clean-mileage vehicles and will pay a premium.
4. More Transparent Supply Chain
Eliminates low-grade suppliers and unofficial dealers.
5. Stronger Brand Confidence for BYD Importers
Factory-controlled logistics ⇒ stable quality, fewer disputes.
