Chinese Vehicle Exports to Europe: Key Markets, Tariffs & Import Procedures
Europe's Top Import Hubs for Chinese Vehicles
Belgium: Europe's Primary Gateway
Belgium maintains its position as the leading entry point for Chinese vehicles entering Europe. Between January and August 2024, Belgium imported over 180,000 Chinese vehicles, ranking fifth globally among China's auto export destinations. The strategic ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge handle this massive volume, though recent EU tariff implementations have slightly moderated growth.
Netherlands: The Transit Powerhouse
The Netherlands witnessed a dramatic surge in Chinese vehicle imports, with values jumping from €0.1 billion in 2022 to €1.1 billion in 2023. Notably, about two-thirds of Chinese EVs entering the Netherlands are destined for other European markets. When excluding transit trade, China ranks as the fourth largest vehicle supplier to the Dutch market.

Japan (1.37 million units), Korea (1 million units) and Germany (550,000 units) face direct export reductions of 270,000, 200,000 and 160,000 vehicles respectively. These automakers now struggle to balance volume and profitability, forced to either raise prices or accelerate U.S. production - potentially leading to industrial
