iPhone 18 Pro Max support only eSIM in these countries and regions: Bahrain, Canada, Guam, Japan, Kuwait, Mexico, Oman, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, United States, and U.S. Virgin Islands.
No SIM models are available in these countries.
China mainland does offer an iPhone 18 Pro Max model with dual-SIM model, and (unusually) with eSIM.
The Apple iPhone warranty is not international, so should you decide to acquire elsewhere, you may need to return to the country of original purchase for warranty or AppleCare coverage.

You would have to buy it in a country that sells a model with a SIM slot. You might have to pay import fees etc. You can learn more about the Apple Worldwide Warranty at the link below.

Depending on the country service is requested in, there may be delays, and your iPhone may be replaced by a model without a SIM slot.

You don't because Apple doesn't sell iPhone 18Pro Max in the US with a SIM slot.
