Introduction
If you are sourcing used GWM vehicles from China for Russia or the CIS, the first question is always the same: what will it actually cost to put a unit on the road in your market? Total landed cost is not just the FOB price you see on a listing. It is a stack of components — unit price, minimum order quantity (MOQ), sampling or inspection costs, inland transport to port, ocean freight, import duty, VAT, and customs clearance. Each varies by model, destination, and shipping method. This breakdown gives you ranges, not single numbers, so you can build a realistic landed-cost model for 2026.
GWM Export is an independent exporter. We are not affiliated with Great Wall Motor. We source from the China domestic market and hold stock at yards in Tianjin and Guangzhou. Every listing shows real mileage, registration date, photos, and a reference FOB price. For live availability and a quote, contact us on WhatsApp.

Unit Price (FOB)
The FOB price is what you pay for the vehicle loaded at the Chinese port. For used GWM models popular in Russia and the CIS, reference ranges from our current stock include:
- GWM Fengjun (pickup): $6,500 – $13,800. Model years 2019–2023. Example: a 2021 Fengjun 5 2.4 4x4 Adventurous Big Double Cab with 70,000 km listed at $10,200 FOB.
- GWM Good Cat (EV): $5,200 – $11,500. Model years 2021–2025. Left-hand drive, sourced from China domestic market.
Other GWM families such as the Haval H6, Tank 300, and Cannon (Poer) are also available. Prices depend on year, mileage, and condition. We do not inflate prices to cover hidden fees; the FOB price is the starting point for your landed-cost calculation.
MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)
For most used GWM models, there is no minimum order quantity. You can buy a single unit. If you are an importer or dealer looking to fill a container, we can consolidate multiple units from our Tianjin and Guangzhou yards. Mixed loads are possible, but each vehicle must meet your destination's import regulations. There is no tooling or sampling requirement for used vehicles — you are buying existing stock.
Sampling and Inspection
Before you commit, you should verify the vehicle's condition and mileage. We provide real photos per listing and can arrange a third-party inspection. Typical inspection cost ranges from $50 to $200, depending on the depth of the check. This is a small price to pay for avoiding surprises. If you need additional photos or a video walkaround, contact us on WhatsApp. We will not fabricate condition reports; what you see is what the listing shows.
Inland Transport and Port Handling
Your vehicle moves from our yard to the port of loading. We hold stock at Tianjin and Guangzhou. Inland transport to the port typically costs $150–$400, depending on distance and vehicle size. Port handling fees are usually included in the freight quote but confirm with your forwarder. Tianjin is the main port for Russia and CIS routes; Guangzhou serves southern routes. Which port your unit ships from affects transit time and total cost.
Shipping: RoRo vs Container
Ocean freight is a major variable. Two methods:
- RoRo (roll-on/roll-off): Usually cheaper for single units, $1,200–$2,800 to Russia/CIS. The vehicle is driven on and off the ship. Less protection from weather and handling, but adequate for most used cars.
- Container: $1,800–$3,500 for a shared or dedicated container. Better protection, especially for higher-value units. You can also combine multiple vehicles in one container to reduce per-unit cost.
Transit times vary by route and season. For 2026, expect 20–45 days to major CIS ports. We can recommend forwarders based on your destination.
Import Duty and Taxes
Duty and VAT are set by your country's customs authority. For Russia and CIS, used passenger cars typically face import duty of 5%–25% of the customs value, plus VAT (often 20% in Russia). Pickups may have different rates — some CIS countries classify them as commercial vehicles. Electric vehicles like the Good Cat may qualify for reduced duty or exemptions in certain markets, but rules change. Always verify with a local customs broker. We provide the commercial invoice, bill of lading, and certificate of origin; your broker handles the rest.
Documents You Receive
Every export includes:
- Commercial invoice
- Bill of lading (B/L)
- Certificate of origin (COO)
- Vehicle registration and mileage documentation (where available)
These are the documents your customs broker will ask for. We do not fabricate paperwork. If a document is not available for a specific unit, we will tell you before you commit.
Landed-Cost Comparison: Three Realistic Scenarios
To show how the components add up, here are three illustrative scenarios for a used GWM Fengjun pickup exported to Russia or Kazakhstan. These are ranges, not quotes.
| Scenario | Unit FOB | Shipping | Duty & VAT | Clearance & Inland | Estimated Landed Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A: Older unit, RoRo | $6,500 | $1,200 | $1,800 | $400 | $9,900 |
| B: Mid-range, RoRo | $10,200 | $1,800 | $3,000 | $500 | $15,500 |
| C: Newer unit, container | $13,800 | $3,000 | $4,200 | $600 | $21,600 |
Scenario A uses a 2019–2021 unit with higher mileage. Scenario B is a typical 2021–2022 model with 70,000–90,000 km. Scenario C is a 2023 unit with lower mileage, shipped in a container for extra protection. Your actual costs will vary with exchange rates, port fees, and seasonal freight surcharges.
Which GWM Models Fit Russia and CIS Best?
Based on our stock and destination demand, three families stand out for 2026:
- GWM Fengjun (pickup): Rugged, left-hand drive, available in 4x4. Good for regions where road conditions are mixed. FOB $6,500–$13,800.
- GWM Haval H6: Family SUV, high volume, strong parts availability. Contact us for current FOB ranges.
- GWM Good Cat (EV): Urban EV, low running cost. FOB $5,200–$11,500. Check local EV import rules and charging infrastructure before committing.
All units are left-hand drive, which matches Russia and most CIS registration requirements. If your market requires right-hand drive, we do not stock it.
Next Steps
Use the table above as a template. Replace the ranges with quotes from your forwarder and customs broker. Then add our FOB price to get your landed cost.
