Frequently Asked Questions
What is customs brokerage and why do I need it?
Customs brokerage is the professional service of managing the clearance of goods through customs borders. A licensed customs broker handles all required documentation, tariff classifications, duty calculations, and communications with customs authorities. Without professional brokerage, businesses risk delays, penalties, and shipment seizures due to incorrect or incomplete filings.
How long does a typical customs clearance process take in Turkey?
The duration of customs clearance in Turkey depends on several factors, including the type of goods, the completeness of documentation, whether the shipment is selected for physical inspection, and the specific customs regime applied. With proper documentation and an experienced broker, standard import clearances can typically be completed within one to three business days.
What documents are required for importing goods into Turkey?
The standard documents for importing into Turkey include a commercial invoice, bill of lading or airway bill, packing list, certificate of origin, and any product-specific certificates (such as health, phytosanitary, or CE certificates). Additional documents may be required depending on the product type and the exporting country's trade agreements with Turkey.
Can you help with export procedures and incentive programs?
Yes, we provide comprehensive export consultancy services, including guidance on export documentation, incoterms selection, international payment methods, and export incentive programs offered by the Turkish government and international institutions. Our team helps you maximize the benefits available to exporters and ensures full compliance with all export regulations.
What is an anti-dumping investigation and how can it affect my business?
An anti-dumping investigation is initiated when a country suspects that foreign producers are selling goods below their normal value, causing injury to domestic industries. If dumping is confirmed, additional duties may be imposed on the affected products. Our legal consultancy team can help you respond to anti-dumping investigations, prepare defense cases, and implement strategies to minimize the impact on your business operations.
