According to approximate estimates, there are about 9 million vehicles in Ukraine, which makes the auto parts niche very profitable. From components to basic maintenance, tuning, and accessories — everything is produced at factories in the Middle Kingdom. Auto parts from China open up huge opportunities for wholesale dealers, retail sellers, and car service centers.
Chinese auto parts suppliers offer a huge assortment. Special attention should be paid to parts for electric vehicles, as China is one of the global leaders in their production. The search for suppliers in China usually starts with marketplaces:
DiFFreight offers purchasing services in China, including finding reliable sellers, negotiating, and making payments. If you are looking for a manufacturer for large wholesale volumes, it is more profitable to cooperate directly with the factory:
China also offers a huge selection of suppliers for motorcycle spare parts, agricultural machinery components, and special vehicles.
Logistics is the foundation of any import-based business. The main stages of transportation include:
Parts may have high weight with small volume or, conversely, large volume with low weight. To avoid overpaying, it is necessary to correctly calculate cargo density and choose the best delivery method — trust this to us!

When ordering goods, problems often arise that can negate the benefits of a deal:
| Problem | Consequences | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Part number mismatch | Parts do not fit the vehicle model. | Verification of spare parts by VIN code at a warehouse in China. |
| Hidden defects | Financial losses and damage to the seller’s reputation. | Quality inspection at the factory or warehouse inspection before shipment. |
| Damage | Goods unsuitable for sale. | High-quality additional packaging and insurance. |
| Customs difficulties | Shipment delays, fines, and even confiscation. | We offer customs brokerage services — delegate customs clearance to professionals. |
When purchasing auto parts from China, rely on the support of an experienced intermediary — DiFFreight. We have many years of experience in logistics from the Middle Kingdom and provide additional services that help minimize risks when cooperating with suppliers.
International logistics has strict regulations regarding the transportation of certain types of goods. Delivery of goods from China to Ukraine is restricted for the following auto parts categories:
Restrictions do not mean a complete ban. Such goods can be transported, for example, only by sea, or in compliance with specific temperature or vibration conditions. Contact us for a consultation if you plan to become an importer of any of these categories.
By purchasing analogs or original spare parts directly in China, you bypass several intermediaries. On average, retail margins in Ukraine range from 30% to 100%, and for specific components may reach up to 150%.
Purchasing at low cost allows you to set reasonable pricing — not too high for customers, but still profitable for the entrepreneur. For small wholesale volumes, even including customs clearance, the price of a part can be 40–60% lower than in Ukrainian retail.
Direct imports mean savings on procurement, helping you make competitive offers for both wholesale and retail customers. We guarantee efficient logistics, support transactions, and provide 24/7 customer assistance. You can entrust us with purchasing, supplier search, negotiations, warehousing, and customs clearance — a full cycle of services for business.
To import spare parts, you typically need: an invoice, packing list, transport documents, export declaration, customs declaration, and certificates (if required). Some documents are provided by the supplier, others are prepared during logistics and customs clearance.
Correct classification is important for calculating duties and avoiding delays. Consult a customs broker, use official code directories, or ask the manufacturer for technical specifications.
Air freight is suitable for urgent, lightweight, high-margin shipments but is more expensive. Sea freight is better for large, heavy orders where cost efficiency is key.
Order sample products and arrange an inspection at the supplier’s warehouse or factory in China. This helps you avoid defective goods and reduces financial risk.
