Set the decision boundary
Add vehicle, inspection, correction, inland movement, export, port, freight and insurance, followed by destination duty, tax, broker, compliance, charging adaptation and registration.
Comparable value requires one boundary. Give every cost a currency, date, inclusion, owner and confidence level. Build expected and adverse cases.
Evidence to request
Give each input a currency, date, tax basis, source and owner. Separate firm quotations, estimates and contingency reserves.
A lower purchase number can be the weaker result when uncertainty is priced honestly.
What can invalidate the conclusion
Exchange movement, storage, document correction, charging work, battery diagnosis and software limitations require explicit adverse cases.
Resolve contradictions at source. Record the market, model year, test condition and quotation period beside any claim that depends on them.
Apply the decision to a real route
A cheaper acquisition price can lose its advantage when destination charging, conformity or parts exposure is added honestly.
Turn the claim into an auditable vehicle record
Build the worksheet from the buyer’s delivery boundary backwards. Every line needs currency, date, source, tax basis, inclusion and person responsible. Separate contracted charges from estimates and contingency. Use expected and adverse cases that name exchange movement, storage, correction, inspection findings, battery work, charging adaptation and destination compliance. Do not hide these in one miscellaneous percentage. Record when each payment becomes non-refundable and which evidence gate must close before release. This reveals whether a low acquisition price survives the route.
For this decision, assign a source, date, reviewer and refresh point to every required field. The six controls below are not complete when merely mentioned in a sales message; each needs evidence strong enough for another reviewer to reach the same conclusion.
01 Vehicle and inspectionCapture the original record and check it against the selected VIN.
02 China logisticsRecord the test method, result, limits and person responsible for follow-up.
03 Freight and insuranceState the destination consequence, cost exposure and approval status.
04 Duty and taxCapture the original record and check it against the selected VIN.
05 Charging and conformityRecord the test method, result, limits and person responsible for follow-up.
06 ReserveState the destination consequence, cost exposure and approval status.
Before approval, read the file without relying on the original salesperson’s memory. Mark every unresolved item as a hold, give it an owner and deadline, and repeat affected checks when the vehicle, quotation, route or destination rule changes. This distinguishes a documented A06 candidate from a plausible but unverified listing.
Keep rejected evidence in the file with the reason it was rejected. This prevents an outdated screenshot, superseded quotation or mismatched brochure from returning later as if it were current proof, and it gives the destination receiver a clear audit trail.
Connect the result to the destination
Compare the import total with a locally supported alternative and identify which costs remain refundable, recoverable or sunk at each approval gate.
Record the responsible party, evidence date, expiry or recheck point and the effect on cost or approval. A complete file makes remaining uncertainty visible; it does not turn an unknown into a confirmed feature.
Use the result in a buyer scenario
A cheaper acquisition price can lose its advantage when destination charging, conformity or parts exposure is added honestly.
Finish with pass, hold or reject. A hold should name the missing evidence, owner and deadline. A replacement VIN begins a new review rather than inheriting approval.

Questions to close before approval
What is landed cost?
The complete cost to the buyer’s stated registered-and-ready boundary.
Are all A06 versions taxed alike?
Not necessarily; legal classification and destination rules can change treatment.
How should contingency be set?
Tie it to named unresolved risks rather than an arbitrary percentage.
