How a Toyota Corolla export order works
Ordering a 2026 Toyota Corolla through EVtoU follows five steps. In-stock cars can ship within 10 working days after payment, and you receive a photo or video update at every stage.
- 1
Request & specification
Tell us the Corolla trims, quantity, colors and destination.
- Not sure which trim? Share the use and budget and we suggest one.
- Replies on WhatsApp or email within 24 hours.
- 2
Quotation & proforma invoice
We confirm stock and send an FOB or CIF quotation, then a proforma invoice.
- The proforma lists VINs, delivery date and payment terms.
- Nothing is final until both sides sign off in writing.
- 3
Inspection
Each car is checked before export and recorded on photo or video.
- You may appoint a third-party inspector such as SGS at your cost.
- 4
Loading & shipping
Cars are lashed inside 40HQ containers or driven onto a Ro-Ro vessel.
- Car-carrier trucks serve Central Asian routes.
- Loading photos are sent when the cars leave.
- 5
Customs & documents
We clear export customs in China and send you the original documents.
- B/L, commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin.
- Sales stays in contact after delivery.
FOB or CIF — which suits you?
Both are ICC Incoterms® 2020 rules. Your contract names the one that applies.
FOB — Free On Board
We deliver the cars on board the vessel at the Chinese port and clear export customs.
You book and pay sea freight, insurance and all costs after loading.
CIF — Cost, Insurance & Freight
We also pay sea freight and minimum insurance to your destination port.
You pay destination port fees, import duty, taxes and clearance.
