| Step | Operational detail |
|---|---|
| Step 1: Convert CNY anchor to USD | Use a date-stamped CNY/USD rate and preserve the source date in your quote worksheet. |
| Step 2: Build CIF proxy | Combine ex-factory value, shipping, and insurance to form the taxable import base. |
| Step 3: Layer duty and VAT explicitly | Apply duty to CIF first, then apply VAT on the taxable base defined by your broker pathway. |
| Step 4: Add homologation and port handling | Model compliance and handling as separate lines so they do not get hidden inside tax assumptions. |
| Step 5: Add contingency and assess buffer | Stress the core landed value with a contingency range to evaluate budget resilience. |
| Step 6: Decide action path by readiness | Map the result to a concrete next action: execute, fix gaps, or pause and re-scope. |

| Option | Timeline | Cost clarity | Risk | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Import now with independent broker | Fastest if documentation already structured | Medium | Higher execution variance | Buyers with internal ops support and strict milestone control |
| Wait for stronger local channel certainty | Slower | Potentially higher later, but clearer support terms | Opportunity-cost risk | Buyers prioritizing service continuity over speed |
| Switch shortlist to adjacent model route | Medium | Depends on destination readiness | Spec/performance mismatch risk | Buyers whose primary risk is compliance uncertainty, not model preference |
