Ro-Ro
The ambulance is driven onto a roll-on/roll-off vessel. Usually the cost-effective option for several units on routes Ro-Ro lines serve.
Export process
How an ambulance export order works
Five steps from first message to your port. Here is what happens at each one and what you receive.
How your order moves
- 01
Inquiry & specification
Choose chassis, configuration, LHD/RHD and quantity. We confirm availability and send FOB or CIF pricing.
- 02
Proforma invoice
A PI lists the vehicle, medical equipment, price, delivery time and payment terms for you to approve.
- 03
Build & inspection
The unit is prepared and inspected. You receive photos or video at each milestone.
- 04
Loading & shipping
Ro-Ro or container shipping, lashed and documented, to the port you name.
- 05
Documents & delivery
Export documents are released for customs clearance at destination.
FOB or CIF — which should I choose?
Choose CIF if you want one price to your port and have no forwarder; choose FOB if your own forwarder already ships from China. Both are Incoterms® rules published by the International Chamber of Commerce.
FOB (Free On Board)
We deliver the ambulance onto the vessel at the Chinese port. Your forwarder handles ocean freight and insurance, and risk passes to you once it is on board.
CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight)
We book and pay ocean freight and minimum insurance to your destination port. Risk still passes at loading in China, but you deal with one invoice.
Ro-Ro or container?
Container
The vehicle is lashed inside a container. Suits destinations without Ro-Ro service, and keeps the unit sealed in transit. High-roof ambulances need checking against container height.
Which export documents will I receive?
Standard export documents typically include the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin. Tell us early if your customs or registration authority needs anything else, such as inspection certificates or specific certificate formats.
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
- Bill of lading (B/L)
- Certificate of origin
- Other documents your authority requires — confirmed before shipment
How is the ambulance inspected?
We coordinate inspection before loading and send you photos or video at each milestone. If you need an independent third-party inspection, name the agency and we arrange access.
