Auto parts is one of the highest-fraud import categories: counterfeit brake pads, mismatched OEM numbers and exporters who vanish after the deposit. KeyBS Pay pairs registry verification with document-linked payments so parts importers protect every order.

Escrow recommendation
Escrow-style release against a packing list itemising OEM part numbers protects against the classic switch: genuine samples, counterfeit container.
Trade EscrowFX management
Quoted-rate FX from NGN, GHS, KES or ZAR into CNY, AED, INR, TRY or USD — institutional fx pricing. USDT settlement is available where both parties agree.
FX & CurrencyRegulatory considerations
Parts imports face standards enforcement (SON in Nigeria, GSA in Ghana). Documented payments matching commercial invoices simplify conformity assessment and customs clearance.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check an auto parts exporter is genuine?
Run Verify AI on the company name or registration number — it checks corporate registry records, status and fraud-blacklist signals in under 60 seconds. Then confirm the beneficiary account matches the registered company and request export references for your specific part category.
Can payment be linked to what is actually shipped?
Yes. Escrow-style release holds the balance until the packing list (with OEM part numbers) and bill of lading are presented — the strongest protection against counterfeit-container fraud.
What if I can't source USD through my bank?
Fund in your local currency (NGN, GHS, KES, ZAR) and KeyBS Pay routes settlement in CNY, AED, INR or USDT where the supplier agrees — subject to compliance review. No personal domiciliary account needed.
Which sourcing hubs do African parts importers use?
Guangzhou (largest range), Dubai (fast re-export, AED settlement), India (tyres, batteries, filters at strong price points) and Turkey (European-spec parts).
