ShiTong Auto Service was founded in 2020 with a simple observation: overseas dealers wanted access to China's competitively priced used vehicles, but the process was fragmented, opaque, and risky. You'd need a sourcing agent in one city, an inspector in another, a customs broker at the port, and a freight forwarder you'd never met. Too many hands. Too many unknowns. Too much can go wrong.
We built a company that eliminates that fragmentation. From our base in the Alibaba Cross-border E-commerce Industrial Park in Dongping, Tai'an, Shandong Province, we manage the entire chain — sourcing, inspection, documentation, container loading, and shipping coordination — under one roof. One contact person. One process. One point of accountability from the moment you inquire to the moment the vehicle arrives at your port.
We are a nationally registered used vehicle export enterprise, holding a complete set of MOFCOM-issued export qualifications. We were among the first batch of approved used car export pilot companies in Shandong Province — a credential that required meeting strict capital, facility, and compliance thresholds. Today, we serve over 300 dealer partners across 38 countries, with over 12,000 vehicles exported since our founding.
Our name — 世通 (ShiTong) — means "connecting the world." That's not marketing language. It's the reason the company exists.
"We didn't start ShiTong to sell cars. We started it to remove the fear from cross-border vehicle procurement. When a dealer in Lagos or Dubai can buy a Chinese used car with the same confidence as buying from their local market — that's when we've done our job."

Our Core Values
These aren't slogans on a wall. They're operational rules that every team member follows daily.
Compliance Is Non-Negotiable
Every export follows MOFCOM and China Customs regulations to the letter. We don't take shortcuts on documentation, even when it's faster. Our license is our livelihood — we protect it by never cutting corners.
Show Everything, Hide Nothing
Real photos. Real VINs. Real inspection reports from third-party labs — not our own staff. The buyer sees exactly what they're getting before they pay a dollar beyond the deposit. Transparency isn't a feature; it's the foundation.
Build for the Long Term
Our 50% financing and 90-day buyback aren't promotions — they're structural advantages designed to keep dealers coming back. A one-time sale is easy. A ten-year partnership is what we're building.
How We Grew
From a two-person startup to a province-leading export operation — in six years.
Why Tai'an, Shandong
Our location isn't random. It's strategic.
A Cross-Border Hub, Not Just an Office
Our headquarters is inside the Alibaba Cross-border E-commerce Industrial Park in Dongping County, Tai'an City, Shandong Province. This isn't a regular office building — it's a government-backed cross-border trade zone with direct integration to Alibaba's international B2B platform, giving us digital reach to buyers in 190+ countries.
Shandong is one of China's top automotive manufacturing provinces and home to major wholesale vehicle markets. Tai'an sits at the intersection of Beijing-Shanghai and east-west rail corridors, with Qingdao port — one of China's largest container ports — just 3 hours by truck.
- 3 hours to Qingdao Port (China's 4th-largest container port)
- 1.5 hours to Jinan (provincial capital, major wholesale market)
- Direct rail access to China-Europe Railway Express (Central Asia)
- Alibaba digital platform integration for global buyer reach
- Government-backed cross-border trade incentives
