BEIJING TIME: 
El Salvador · Acajutla
El Salvador’s Pacific port is Acajutla. It is not a terminal that takes a direct call from every China port every week. The purchasing advantage is a short Pacific leg into a market that already prices in dollars. The risk is booking a ship that does not actually call.
Ask the line whether this voyage discharges at Acajutla, before the proforma names a date.
Passenger car or light goods vehicle, matching the China certificate.
Conformity, environmental sheet, consistency certificate, invoice, packing list, bill of lading.
The VIN on the declaration is the only catalog key.
Lamps, clips, cooling parts and modules are quoted on the VIN your agent released, not on a photo from another market.

Buyers in El Salvador read a China invoice without a currency conversion in the middle of the deal. That is a real convenience. It does not make Acajutla a large vehicle terminal. The advantage of buying here is a direct Pacific discharge into a compact market, provided the sailing exists. What you should weigh is the space on that sailing, and the storage if the papers are late.
We plan the discharge at Acajutla. We do not route a Salvadoran file through another country’s port and call it the same delivery. A battery car is offered to the line as Class 9. RoRo only if the carrier and the proforma both accept it.
The conformity certificate classifies the vehicle under GB/T 15089-2016. M1 is a passenger car. N1 is a light goods vehicle. The environmental information sheet is that VIN’s emissions record. The consistency certificate is the approved specification: size, mass, powertrain. Your agent’s declaration at Acajutla has to repeat those facts. We assemble the China side and we check it with the agent before the container number. We do not file in El Salvador, and we do not invent a duty rate. After the advance payment the factory issues exactly these three papers. The China compulsory product certificate and the consistency certificate are the same paper, not a fourth file. These China papers do not replace the local homologation and they are not a duty rate.
Importers and workshops that will register more than a hobby. CarParts quotes against the released VIN. CarLive opens a China-network diagnostic for certified dealers on cars bought here, when the local tool will not. Beta. It does not register the car.
B2B orientation. Port practice and the heading change. Not Salvadoran legal advice. Your agent files at Acajutla.
