What Villeneuve do for you
Inventory is the symptom; process and data are the cure. We don’t just apply band-aids. We engineer end-to-end solutions that leverage data science to drive tangible financial results.
Data-Driven Precision: We use AI and advanced algorithms, not gut feel, to set stock levels.
Rapid Results: Our methodology is designed to show measurable cash release within 12 weeks.
Holistic View: We connect inventory to procurement, logistics, and sales to prevent local optimization at the expense of the whole.
Change Management: We train your teams to sustain the improvements long after we leave.
1
Order confirmation and contract signing
→ South American dealer/customer submits order
→ BYD confirms order details (model, quantity, configuration, etc.)
→ Signing international trade contract (Incoterms terms are clear, such as FOB, CIF, etc.)
2
Production and QC
→ BYD factory produces vehicles according to order
→ Completion of pre-factory quality inspection (in compliance with Chinese and South American standards)
→ Vehicle VIN registration and export document preparation
3
Export Customs Clearance and Documentation Preparation
→ Preparation of export documents:
- Commercial Invoice
- Packing List
- Certificate of Origin (COO, may need to be certified by CCPIT)
- Certificate of Conformity (COC)
- Bill of Lading (B/L)
- Insurance policy (if CIF terms)
→ Declare the export to China Customs and complete the customs declaration procedures

4
International Transportation (mainly by sea)
→ Reservation of container or Ro-Ro Ship (Ro-Ro Ship)
→ Vehicle transportation to Chinese ports (e.g. Shanghai port, Shenzhen port)
→ Load the ship and issue the bill of lading for sea transportation
→ Sea transportation to major ports in South America (e.g. Port of San Antonio, Chile, Port of Santos, Brazil, Port of Callao, Peru, etc.)
5
Customs clearance at the destination port
→ South American importer/agent submits customs clearance documents:
- Bill of Lading (exchange of bills of lading)
- Import license (required by some countries)
- Local certification documents (such as Brazil INMETRO certification, Chile 3CV certification, etc.)
→ Payment of customs duties, value-added tax (tax rates vary by South American countries, such as Brazil, about 35%)
→ Customs inspection (may involve environmental protection, safety standards testing)
6
Inland transportation and delivery
→ Vehicle transfer to dealer's warehouse after customs clearance
→ Local logistics distribution (land transportation or railroad)
→ Final delivery to customers or 4S stores
STORAGE
We operate warehouses across China, France, the United States, Canada, and Australia, meticulously customizing our distribution strategies to align with the distinct requirements and demands of our diverse product range.
Concurrently, given the geographical positioning of the warehouse, parameters such as temperature and humidity play critical roles in the preservation of commodities; accordingly, we tailor bespoke storage solutions for diverse product categories.
