Analysis of Vehicle Export Transaction Documents

Transaction Overview

This document set details a completed international vehicle export transaction from Shandong Yuxuan Import and Export Co., Ltd. (the Seller) in China to a buyer in Rwanda. The transaction involves the sale of a single used vehicle under FOB (Free On Board) terms, with a clear paper trail from contract to payment.

The process is documented through several key pieces of evidence:

Used Vehicle Sales Contract (Page 2): Establishes the legal agreement between buyer and seller.
Bank Payment Instruction & SWIFT Message (Pages 3-4): Details the international fund transfer.
Process Outline (Pages 1, 5-8): Summarizes the key steps in the export-shipping process.

Shipping & Post-Payment Process

The summarized steps (Pages 1, 5-8) outline the post-contract workflow:

Buyer's Payment: The buyer makes the full payment (as evidenced by the SWIFT message).
Seller's Delivery & Export Procedures: After payment confirmation, the seller handles Chinese export customs clearance and delivers the vehicle to the port in Qingdao.
Shipping & Documentation: The buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for the main ocean freight (FOB term). Once shipped, the seller sends the original Bill of Lading (B/L) to the buyer via air express.
Insurance: The seller arranges insurance on behalf of the buyer (likely as an agent), as noted in Step 6.

Conclusion: A Standardized Export Transaction

This document package illustrates a standardized and professional vehicle export transaction. It highlights Yuxuan's operational process: a formal sales contract locks in the deal, a clear FOB term defines responsibilities, payment is secured via traceable international banking channels, and a defined post-payment workflow ensures the vehicle is exported and key documents are transferred to the buyer. The inclusion of a genuine SWIFT message adds significant credibility, demonstrating a real, completed financial transaction.
