Customs Procedures
"What are the main customs procedures for importing goods to Turkey?"
Quick Answer
Import procedures typically include an electronic customs declaration, tariff classification (HS/GTIP), customs valuation, origin determination, submission of supporting documents/permits, and payment of customs duties/VAT.
Scope and Legal Distinctions
The intended use of goods determines the customs procedure: release for free circulation, transit, warehousing or another applicable regime. A broker's filing does not remove the importer's own responsibilities.
What to Check in Practice
Check classification, value, origin, licences and the declaration with the commercial invoice and transport evidence before release.
