As someone who works at a freight-forwarding company, this was actually really funny at how real the process gets. Donut guys, hit me up when you need one! We're literally just around the corner from you guys! We're on Hindry!!!!

Really appreciate the honesty regarding the import process in this video, it was cool to hear about all the steps, fees, and logistics. Also seeing y'all whip around in that lil thing was hilarious!

In China, this kind of vehicle is usually used by grandfathers in rural areas or small towns to pick up and drop off their grandchildren for school. It doesn’t require a license plate and is better than walking.

yea i love this lil truck ❤ i would love to see how you modify it!
@MimicAura93
I love how much fun Zach and Jerry had in this. You can tell they genuinely had fun with the vehicle
@Sakimo733
This is my entire job, so I just watched a video on how to import. You got me watching my job on my day off.
@HungryHungryH0bo
My favorite part is how on the pre-arrival notice the description of goods is "Elderly Mobility Scooter"
@skyty0
Eezy Import is great! I talked to them when I was importing some wheels from Japan and they're super nice and helped me a ton. Pro tip: depending on how small your item is, FedEx can handle port forwarding and customs clearance for you. They do a little interview with you over the phone so they can fill out the forms for you, then all you do is pay regular, domestic shipping costs. It's super easy and helpful for car parts! : )

In China, we call this kind of vehicles "lao tou le", which translates to "happy grandpa" or "old man's fun". As you most likely can tell from the name, they're normally driven by seniors. A common application is to pick up their grandchildren from school. Their looks usually incorporate the styles of a lot of well-known cars. For instance, the front of this one in the video comes from Hongqi, a well-known brand in China. Don't be surprised if you see one that looks like a MB G wagon or Ford Raptor lol. Typically, you can't register them and get plates, and you don't need a license either. In my opinion, there's a lot of potential in this market. However, regulations gotta catch up first, because most of them have absolutely no safety feature or build quality you would see on modern cars, and they can be found mixed in your normal traffic. Imagine how dangerous it can be, when it's mixed in normal traffic, operated by some senior with no license and carrying some very young kid lol. Be extra careful when you're driving it or driving around it😂
@warracer03
Donut content is actually getting much better , the whole import process was really neat to learn
@nathandiefenbach1274
It says a ton about the US when a 2 thousand dollar vehicle import requires you to effectively pay 300% to various middle-men who mostly just check boxes on paperwork. Some dudes in the US made about as much as the company that actually built the thing. That feels pretty gross, ngl.
@MrMadeinthe80s
The worst part about not getting paperwork done in time, is if it has to sit at the dock for any period of time it racks up fees VERY quickly as you found out. You can get out of those warehouse fees if you paid the agent the money they wanted to let them push it through faster. We found this out as well as we started importing a couple of years ago.
@TrevorK86
This thing's called 老头乐 (actually upgraded a lot) means it ‘’makes grandpas happy”. The CAR version used in urban area are used to pick up kids back from school driven by grandpa. The TRUCK version usually used in rural area and it's a cheap replica for the motor-powered tricycle-trucks used by the Légion étrangère in Africa. Everyone knows it's a toy vehicle and hazard to urban traffic, but in rural area is another story. You simply don't need any paperwork to buy or drive one since it's not under any law. lol~
@jedwalker4543
Y’all are really releasing some bangers lately. Keep it up guys
@benwright9225
Watching this after tariffs hits different
@CrackerJakkTV
I’d love to see a mini series of you guys trying to improve it. Also trying to off road it would be fun.
@giraffejoker563
The "emoji starter" is a tactic used by many Chinese online sellers to be more casual and engaging with their customers, as many of them are just individual shoppers. I laughed so hard when you guys were surprised by this strange direction the conversation was taking. Also I work for a place where we constantly import materials from foreign countries, the process is always complicated and painful. I have mad respect for you pulling this off on your own! Great video!
@Canned.bread.25
Taking it over the curb in the parking lot was hilarious. Had me struggling to stifle my laugh at work lol
@fredred
3:33 "I already buy!"... I can't stop laughing...🤣🤣🤣
