Turkey is a logistics hub with a growing foreign trade volume and strong connections to the Middle East. For all products leaving Turkey, export customs procedures must first be completed. The following steps are carried out during this process:

• Preparation of the export declaration.

• Determination and correct classification of HS (Harmonized System) codes.

• Verification of documents related to the products such as invoices, waybills, and packing lists.

• Completion of procedures on behalf of the exporting company and granting permission for the product’s exit.

Timely preparation of the correct documents and accurate declaration are the most critical parts of the export process. Even a small mistake in these steps can cause a truck to wait for hours or even days at the border gate.
