How to start Import/Export business in GTA Online?

The first thing that players need is a CEO office purchasable from the Dynasty 8 Executive website. A computer on the CEO desk gives access to the SecuroServ network, which includes special cargo, vehicle cargo and special vehicle missions.

Players will then need to buy a vehicle warehouse from the vehicle cargo option. It should be noted that players can only own one warehouse at a given time. Players can then source vehicles and store up to 40 of them at their warehouse.

To earn the maximum amount of money possible, players should only focus on top range vehicles. Once players have sourced around 10 mid or standard range vehicles, each with unique license plates, they will start getting top range cars only.

When selling these vehicles, players need to avoid damage to the cars, as enemies will spawn and start attacking the player. This can be avoided if the player is in a lobby with at least 1 other CEO, as enemies won't spawn in that case.

After each successful delivery, there is a 20 minute cooldown during which players can source more vehicles or do some other odd jobs. An easier way to deliver vehicles is to pick them up with the Cargobob. If players fly it high enough, they can reach the delivery point without any enemy spawning in the way.

Owning a Terrorbyte makes it considerably easier to start source vehicle missions. Here is a list of all the available cargo vehicles for the Import/Export business in GTA Online.
