Dealers asking FCDC Motor how to import dirt bikes from China usually need a control list—not a cheerleading essay. The first conversation should lock model identity, packing method, Incoterm, destination document questions and spare-parts reserve before anyone argues about a headline FOB.
Exclusive pitfall we stop early
The most expensive mistake we see is treating catalog FOB as landed cost, then discovering destination documents, inspection timing and parts reserve only after a PI is already in motion. FCDC / FCDC Motor will not invent destination legal clearance, buyers confirm with their broker and but we will refuse to pretend FOB equals door-delivered retail readiness.
Import workflow for dealers
- Supplier selection: Confirm whether the buyer needs one factory, a consolidated exporter, mixed brands, or a model range that includes KAYO, BSE, ZTOT, HEZZO, ATVs, or utility products.
- Specification control: Record engine code, cooling, carburetor or EFI, wheel size, tire size, brake setup, suspension level, seat height, colors, and required accessories.
- Packing and loading: Check crate dimensions, CKD or assembled assumptions, spare-parts cartons, mixed-container plan, loading photos, and destination handling requirements.
- Documents: Confirm commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate needs, battery-related paperwork where applicable, and local import rules.
Cost and risk checks
- Landed cost: Estimate FOB price, inland freight, ocean freight, insurance, duty, broker fees, port charges, local trucking, PDI labor, and warranty allowance.
- Parts package: Order filters, brake pads, levers, chains, sprockets, tubes, tires, cables, batteries, plastics, and fasteners with the first shipment.
- Inspection evidence: Ask for product photos, detail shots, packing evidence, model labels, and media that match the exact quoted motorcycle.
Buyer takeaway
For a firm FCDC Motor quotation, send the target country, expected quantity, model configuration, spare-parts needs, and delivery window. FCDC can then align the motorcycle, media, packing, and export documents before quoting.
Import control add-on from FCDC Motor: Before the PI leaves draft, name packing method, spare-parts reserve, and who owns destination document questions. FCDC / FCDC Motor will quote the commercial path on Get Quote—not invent broker clearance or street-legal status from a guide page.
