Customs clearance of parcels, goods and cargo from Turkey

Customs clearance of goods from Turkey is a complex process that requires a professional approach and attention to detail. The first thing you need to understand is the specifics of your parcel. Depending on the type of goods, their quantity and value, the procedure may vary significantly.

Basic requirements include:

• An accurate description of the goods and their customs code.
• Confirmation of the country of origin.
• Correctly executed supporting documents.
• Compliance with all import regulations and restrictions.

How much does customs clearance of parcels from Turkey cost?

There are no fixed tariffs for the cost of customs clearance of Turkish goods. The price is formed individually and depends on many factors:

• The customs value of the cargo.
• The category of goods and the applicable duty rates.
• The need to obtain additional certificates and permits.
• Method and terms of delivery.
• The urgency of the clearance.

It should be noted that private individuals enjoy a preferential regime - parcels worth up to 150 euros are not subject to customs duties. For business deliveries, we offer a preliminary calculation of all costs, including customs duties, VAT, and brokerage services. This allows our customers to plan their budgets in advance and avoid unexpected expenses.

What goods are most often imported from Turkey

Turkey is traditionally one of the largest suppliers of a wide range of goods to Ukraine. Based on our many years of practice, we have identified the main categories of parcels that are in greatest demand:

• Textile products (fabrics, ready-to-wear, home textiles).

When working with each category of goods, we take into account the specific requirements for their importation and certification, which helps to avoid delays in customs clearance.

The time of delivery and customs clearance of goods from Turkey depends on several key factors:
