Ship Replacement Car & Truck Engines from China to Antigua with China2Dadli
If you are looking to import a replacement car engine from China to Antigua and Barbuda, you are not alone. Many mechanics, vehicle owners, and auto parts dealers are now sourcing engines directly from China to save money and access a wider selection.
At China2Dadli.com, we help individuals and businesses in Antigua ship heavy auto parts — including new and second-hand engines — safely and cost-effectively by sea freight.
If you are considering importing an engine, here is what you need to know.
⸻
Why Import Car Engines from China?
China is one of the largest manufacturers and exporters of automotive parts in the world. You can find:
•Brand new replacement engines
•Used Japanese and Korean engines
•Diesel truck engines
•Petrol car engines
•Engine blocks and long blocks
•Complete engine assemblies
For many vehicle owners in Antigua and Barbuda, importing directly from China can cost significantly less than buying locally — especially for older vehicles or commercial trucks.
⸻
China’s Second-Hand Engine Market
One of the biggest advantages of sourcing from China is access to the large second-hand auto parts market.
China has massive dismantling and recycling hubs where engines are removed from:
•Accident-damaged vehicles
•Low-mileage fleet vehicles
• Used cars being parted out
Many of these engines are cleaned, compression-tested, and resold at competitive prices.
For mechanics in Antigua, this creates an opportunity to:
•Repair vehicles affordably
•Increase profit margins
•Offer customers lower repair quotes
However, buying used engines requires careful verification.
⸻
Make Sure It Is the EXACT Engine You Need
This is critical.
An engine is not just “2.0L” or “3.0 diesel.” There are small variations that can make a big difference.
Before shipping from China, you must confirm:
✔ Engine Code
The engine code stamped on the block is more important than just make and model.
✔ Year Compatibility
Manufacturers often change wiring, sensors, and mounts between production years.
✔ Transmission Type
Manual and automatic versions may differ.
✔ 2WD vs 4WD
Mounting brackets and oil pans can vary.
✔ What Is Included
Does it come with:
•Turbo?
•Alternator?
•Starter?
•Wiring harness?
•ECU?
Once an engine leaves China and arrives in Antigua, returning it is not practical. Verification before shipment is essential.
At China2Dadli, we always recommend requesting clear photos of the engine code and test results before shipping.

Best Shipping Method: Sea Freight to Antigua
Engines are heavy. Air freight is usually too expensive.
The most cost-effective option is sea freight, and this is where China2Dadli specializes.
LCL (Less than Container Load)
Perfect for:
•One engine

•Independent mechanics
You pay only for the space your engine takes inside a shared container.

Ideal for:
•Auto parts dealers
•Multiple engines
•Large commercial imports
We ship containers regularly from China to Antigua, helping customers combine cargo and reduce shipping costs.
⸻
Customs Clearance in Antigua and Barbuda
When your engine arrives at the Port of St. John’s, it must clear customs.
You will need:
•Commercial invoice
•Packing list
•Bill of lading
Import duties and ABST will apply based on the declared value.
China2Dadli helps guide you through this process to avoid delays and unexpected costs.
