A used-car export hub in Hulunbuir is investigating trade opportunities within Pakistan and other South Asian markets. Xiao Song stated that the company exported over 1,300 vehicles through its own operations between January and September 2026.
The base secured official used-car export qualifications in early 2024. Approximately 760,000 square metres of land comprise an integrated domestic and international trade park developed by the facility.
Russia remains the primary overseas destination for these exports, while Mongolia serves as another key market. One vehicle was exported to Ethiopia during the current year.
The export mix has recently transitioned to roughly 80 percent new energy vehicles and 20 percent fuel-powered cars. Song noted that orders for certain Chinese electric models have risen sharply, though manufacturer supply constraints are delaying deliveries.
The base provides a one-stop service that combines licensing, customs clearance, export documentation, vehicle transfer procedures, and logistics. Some vehicles can reach destinations in Russia in approximately 5 days.
Transactions are settled by the company in Chinese yuan (RMB). The company evaluated Chinese SUVs, including models from Haval, which is a brand of Great Wall Motor.
“For Pakistani importers, Chinese vehicles offer an opportunity to explore a wider range of models and price points. However, the commercial viability of importing used cars will depend on prevailing customs rules, vehicle eligibility, duties and transportation costs,” Song said. The Hulunbuir base plans to upgrade its digital customer services and online platform to reach more international markets by 2027.
