Importing goods from Turkey involves complying with legal and regulatory requirements:

 

  • Check restrictions and standards: Some products may be subject to specific restrictions or require certifications (sanitary standards, CE standards, etc.).
  • Inquire about customs duties: Although the customs union facilitates trade, certain formalities must be completed and customs duties may apply. Some products may benefit from an exemption or reduced customs duties. Ensure you have the required documents, such as the ATR certificate of origin.”
