This file focuses on carrier and shipping-method selection. Its approval points are carrier acceptance, battery soc rule, port route, with destination and commercial checks kept visible.
Decide carrier and shipping-method selection
RoRo can simplify vehicle handling on established routes; container service can offer different routing and control over loose accessories. Carrier rules may restrict personal cargo, battery state of charge or non-running vehicles.
Use the section outcome to decide whether carrier acceptance is confirmed or needs another document before the candidate advances.
Evidence for carrier and shipping-method selection
Evidence for carrier and shipping-method selection should show Carrier acceptance, Battery SOC rule and Port route in a consistent VIN-linked sequence, with unresolved points stated rather than inferred. Record pre-loading condition, odometer, state of charge, keys and accessories.
Save the supporting file under the candidate VIN and label how it establishes battery soc rule; do not rely on an unreferenced chat image.
Destination test for carrier and shipping-method selection
Confirm that Dimensions and Insurance scope work in the buyer's country and that parts, diagnostics and legal use are practical there.
Record who will confirm dimensions and by what date, because unresolved destination assumptions become expensive after loading.
Commercial control for carrier and shipping-method selection
Normalise carrier and shipping-method selection quotations by separating Handover evidence, China-side services and destination expenditure. Use a dated rate and written inclusions.
State the accepted result for dimensions in the written approval record.
Apply carrier and shipping-method selection to a candidate
Ask carriers for vehicle-specific acceptance, not only a rate. Provide propulsion, operating condition, dimensions, weight, port pair and proposed state of charge. Confirm whether the vehicle may carry charging cables or other accessories, whether alarms must be disabled, how keys are handled and what pre-existing damage record the terminal accepts. Compare RoRo and container schedules using total port exposure, transshipment, handling and insurance terms. For a container, document securing and clearance around the vehicle; for RoRo, document terminal handover and odometer. Keep the vehicle sufficiently charged for permitted handling while respecting the carrier's stated limit.
Turn this field method into a dated worksheet and keep it with the candidate record so a later reviewer can reproduce the decision.
Approve or reject carrier and shipping-method selection
Send the loading record promptly and retain the booking reference with the VIN file. On arrival, compare damage, odometer, keys and state of charge before leaving port custody.
Retain the final outcome with the VIN file and reopen the review if the candidate, destination or commercial boundary changes.
Record the approval decision
Approve carrier and shipping-method selection only when carrier acceptance, battery soc rule, port route are supported by candidate-specific evidence and dimensions, insurance scope, handover evidence have an identified owner. Pause if the seller will not connect the VIN to the vehicle, documents or condition record, or if the destination answer depends only on another market's brochure. Record the precise missing test, quotation line or document. Resolve it before payment or reject the candidate; do not carry an undefined technical or commercial issue into shipping.

Changan Q05 Shipping: RoRo or Container?: buyer questions
Is RoRo always cheaper than container shipping?
No. Compare the available route, port costs, handling, insurance, dimensions and carrier acceptance for the exact vehicle.
Can accessories stay inside the Q05?
Carrier rules vary and often restrict loose cargo. List keys, cables and permitted items in the handover record.
What evidence is needed before loading?
Dated exterior and interior images, odometer, state of charge, warning status, keys, accessories and signed custody transfer.
