What is homologation and which agency handles it in my country?
Short answer:
Homologation is the technical approval confirming a vehicle meets your country's safety and emissions rules — mandatory before registration in nearly every market we ship to.
Homologation (type-approval) is a government or accredited-body review confirming the vehicle model meets local safety, emissions and equipment standards. By region:
- Brazil — INMETRO / CONTRAN.
- Mexico — NOM compliance.
- Saudi Arabia — SASO / SABER certification.
- UAE — GCC / ESMA compliance.
- Chile — homologation via 3CV.
- Peru — homologation with MTC.
- Kazakhstan / Russia — EAEU / GOST certification.
- Israel — EU/UNECE-aligned type approval.
Popular models from BYD, MG, GWM and Chery already have homologation precedent in most of these markets; less common brands may need a first-time filing — ask us before ordering.
