Frequently asked questions

Trade

The UK is no longer part of the EU – Turkey Customs Union, meaning the requirements for British trade with Turkey have changed radically. There is a Free Trade Agreement, regulating UK and Turkish trade with preferential import tariff arrangements for goods originating in either country. This has led to increased opportunities for businesses in both the UK and Turkey, and is something that Turkishlinks is well placed to help you capitalise on.

Turkishlinks has a list of trusted Turkish and UK’s businesses who we have developed strong working relationships with. We will consult with you before any commitment is made, to ensure that you are happy with the suggestion.

It is important market information is gathered and you understand the commodity within the market place.  Turkishlinks are able to give you advice and guidance on what to look for and find you the most cost effective solution.

Transit

Turkishlinks can manage the entire process, arranging collection and export clearance, tracking your cargo, pre-clearing before arrival, arranging collection from the port or airport and booking the final delivery.

The cost of transporting your goods will vary depending to the time of year you are shipping, and any changes in fuel charges will also apply. Turkishlinks are able to negotiate and source the most cost effective transport solution for you, saving you time and money.

Dangerous Goods are hazardous materials that could present a potential hazard to human health and safety. Turkishlinks will advise on what goods can be transported to make sure your business is following international shipping regulations.

In the event that damage or loss occurs to goods whilst in transit, there is a process that has to be adhered to in order to make an insurance claim. This can be a lengthy, time consuming process for new importers and one that Turkishlinks can help with – saving you time and stress.

Customs

The paperwork required will depend on how the goods are being transported, but will usually consist of a transit document that has accompanied your goods. Customs will need to know what the goods are, and how much they are worth. Turkishlinks can help you navigate this vital aspect of international distribution and help you avoid any delays or fines as a result of mismanagement.

Within the free trade zones, goods can be imported free of duty, assembled, manufactured, stored, repackaged, and re-exported with no tariffs.
