What Is SKD

SKD (semi knockeddown) semi bulk parts

In international trade, especially in international automobile trade, the automobile companies of the whole vehicle exporting countries break up the finished products, export them in the form of semi-finished products or parts, and then the imported manufacturers complete the finished vehicle products and sell them by self assembling in the host country.

For the importing country, it can promote the development of its own industry, increase employment opportunities and occupy its own market.
