Documents & guidance

Important information & documents

Freight transport to Turkey combines EU export processes, customs clearance and complex transit and border processes between Europe and the Middle East. Precise documentation is particularly important for industrial goods, machinery, automotive goods and commercial cargo.

Prepare export and customs documents consistently

Differences between commercial invoice, packing list, CMR and HS codes often lead to delays or additional customs checks for Turkey transports.

Plan border crossings realistically

Border crossings such as Kapıkule can involve considerable waiting times depending on season, holidays and traffic volume. Transit times should be planned accordingly.

Coordinate transit and TIR procedures early

For transit traffic toward the Caucasus, Central Asia or the Middle East, TIR and transit procedures should be fully coordinated before transport begins.

Check technical goods and dual-use products

For certain machinery, electronics or industrial components, export control, compliance checks or additional certificates may be required.

Prepare ADR and temperature-controlled transports carefully

Dangerous goods and temperature-controlled transports require complete accompanying documents as well as coordinated border and customs processes along the route.
