In importing, cost and timing depend largely on decisions made at the very start. Classifying goods under the correct GTİP code, obtaining the necessary permits and documents in advance and calculating duties accurately all reduce the risk of delays and unexpected costs at customs.
We determine the GTİP (Turkish customs tariff statistical position) code for your goods together with our legislation consultant. Where needed, we handle the pre-declaration examination of goods (küşat), complete any required registrations and obtain the documents and reports needed from foreign trade authorities.
We follow the registration of the customs declaration and the examination of goods closely. We calculate customs duties and costs and inform your company in advance, follow up letters of guarantee and blocked cheques, and track online tax payments. If goods arrive short, damaged or incorrect, we arrange the necessary reports and records, and we get your cleared goods to the address you specify.

Frequently asked questions
What is küşat and when is it needed?
Küşat is the opening and examination of goods under customs supervision before the declaration is lodged. It is used when there is uncertainty about the nature, quantity or GTİP code of the goods, so that they can be declared correctly.
What happens if goods arrive short or damaged?
When a shortage, damage or error is found, we arrange for reports and records documenting the situation. These serve as the basis for any claims with insurers, carriers and suppliers.
How are customs duties paid?
Once duties are calculated, we inform your company and follow up online payment. Where needed, we also handle letters of guarantee or blocked cheques.
Why do you use a delivery form?
Documents handed over at the end of the process are recorded on a delivery form, so it is always clear which document was delivered and when. This also makes accounting and audit processes easier.
