What must be declared upon departure

The user has the right to transport prohibited or limited quantity goods only if there is a declaration.

It is required to draw up a customs document for:

• precious stones and items made from them, metals, the price of which exceeds $15,000;
• any currency over $5000 (except bank cards).

If the purchase of Turkish lira was made at a bank on the territory of the republic, you must have a receipt with you confirming the currency exchange.

Organizing a business in Turkey

Despite the variety of ideas for business, one of the most popular options for cooperation with Turkish partners remains the sale of Turkish goods in Russia and the markets of the CIS countries.

In order for business with Turkey to be successful and safe, you need to competently approach the organization of such a commercial project:

1. Find a reliable supplier. Once the topic of the business project has been chosen, you can begin searching for a suitable Turkish partner. For these purposes, exhibitions, congresses and other thematic events are usually organized. General topics of conversation in a pleasant atmosphere become an excellent basis for acquaintance and agreements on joint business with Turkey. Clothing and footwear, home textiles, and household appliances from Turkey are in particular demand, so it is recommended to pay more attention to these product groups.

Note! The search for companies for business cooperation can take place online using thematic websites or forums. In modern conditions, more and more transactions between partners from different countries are concluded remotely - it is convenient and fast.

1. Make a business plan. Without a clearly developed algorithm of actions, it will not be possible to organize your own business: at each stage, an entrepreneur may encounter circumstances and risks that must be calculated and taken into account in advance.
2. Organize trading platforms. If this business is not the first on the entrepreneur’s account, then the sale of goods can be carried out through their own retail outlets. However, one of the best decisions would be to open an online store.

There are many commercial offers from Turkish suppliers. You can view them on the website of your local chamber of commerce and industry. You can also obtain information with the help of a special intermediary organization.

It is important to remember that when organizing supplies from other countries, including when opening a business in Turkey, it is necessary that the enterprise be officially registered. Then, if necessary, you can quickly confirm this by providing the relevant documents.

Note! Turkish partners often check the integrity of Russian entrepreneurs - it is better to prepare for this in advance.

Checking a Turkish manufacturer when setting up a business in Turkey can be done with the help of the RTUCargo team: we act as a guarantor of cargo compliance with the declared characteristics, and also ensure the safety of goods during the loading process. Our employees will take photos and videos of the moment the goods are handed over to show its condition to the customer.

Business in Turkey: risks

Risk is the middle name of every entrepreneur, so it is important to think through possible problems and ways to solve them as accurately as possible in advance, or better yet, to prevent their occurrence.

One of the main problems when planning a business is the discrepancy between the planned and actual delivery times of goods.

Our company’s employees are customer-oriented as much as possible, so we check with them in advance about the required delivery times. If an unforeseen situation occurs and transportation of a batch of products is urgently needed, our specialists will select the best transportation option.

For example, one of the express options is transportation to Istanbul airport using vehicles with subsequent movement of goods to Moscow via air delivery. After the cargo arrives in the capital of the Russian Federation, the parcel travels to the customer’s region by road transport, accompanied by a courier. This option ensures minimal delivery times, maximum protection of cargo from damage during transportation, and also eliminates the possibility of errors during transportation.

Another important issue when organizing an enterprise whose operation depends on goods imported from Turkey is the condition of the products after transportation. Unfortunately, not all shipping companies take their tasks responsibly, which leads to irreparable damage: most products require careful handling, as well as compliance with special transportation conditions.

One of the company’s principles is strict compliance with all cargo transportation conditions. Our employees focus not only on generally accepted standards for transporting goods from Turkey of various categories, but also take into account the recommendations of the seller and the wishes of the customer. For example, if in order to preserve their organoleptic properties, products need to constantly maintain certain temperature conditions, humidity levels or pressure indicators, RTUCargo employees will definitely provide these parameters using tented trucks or refrigerators.

A problem when organizing business with Turkey, especially at its initial stages, may be limits on the delivery of goods. The difficulty for new organizations most often becomes the lower limit of the weight of products: the initial sales volumes do not always correspond to such large figures, and not every entrepreneur wants to risk their funds. We offer our clients transportation of any consignments weighing from 1 kilogram. This is especially convenient if you need to purchase trial versions of product catalogs in order to assess demand in the Russian market.

Another issue that often arises in the process of trading activities between Turkey and Russia is payment for goods. Our company acts not only as a carrier, but also as an intermediary in financial transactions between partners. The assistance of our employees “works” in such a way that the supplier will receive funds only if the customer is confident that the product meets the declared characteristics.

List of items that cannot be exported

What cannot be exported from Turkey is a pressing question, the answer to which is contained in the Customs Code of the Turkish Republic, which entered into force on October 27, 1999. The regulatory legal act contains a list of goods prohibited for transportation across the border, violation of which entails administrative and criminal penalties. responsibility. Among the unauthorized new goods:

Having archaeological value

Guests of the Turkish Republic are strictly prohibited from transporting items related to the historical and cultural heritage of the country across the border. Turkey is one of the oldest states, the heir of the Ottoman Empire and the keeper of a huge number of historical monuments that are under the protection of UNESCO.

While walking and visiting attractions, it is not recommended to pick up and try to transport to your homeland as souvenirs:

• various fossils;

• pieces of pavement;
• any stones found at historical sites and on the beach;
• fallen marble particles;
• fragments of mosaic frescoes.

Any listed item (sea stone) found during the inspection will be seized on the basis that it may have historical value and sent for expert evaluation.

Antiques and items of ethnographic value

Antique items with a manufacturing date earlier than 1945 are prohibited from being transported from Turkey.

Among these items:

• handmade carpets;

  
  What cannot be exported from Turkey? For example, the famous handmade carpets.

• vintage jewelry;
• paintings;
• ancient coins made of any metal;
• historical costumes from the Ottoman Empire.

If it is necessary to remove objects from the country, various objects of art produced in a later period, it is required to obtain a special permit from the state authorities and a museum certificate indicating the date of manufacture of the antique item.

When purchasing souvenirs stylized as antiques, it is irresistible to receive from the seller a sales receipt and a document certifying that this item is simply an imitation and has no real historical value. This rule is especially true for the transportation of handmade carpets, which are very popular among guests of the republic.

Cigarettes and tobacco

Cigarettes are prohibited from being exported across borders throughout Turkey. Tourists rarely purchase local tobacco products (with the exception of tobacco used for hookah smoking) since their price is several times higher than their foreign counterparts.

Only hookah tobacco is allowed to be transported across the border, at the rate of 2 kg (3 packs) per person.

Any weapon

It is prohibited to transport firearms, bladed weapons, explosives and ammunition across the border of the Turkish Republic. The rule applies to ordinary tourists and legal entities. Souvenirs and children's toys that imitate sabers, knives, pistols and grenades are also subject to confiscation.

Transportation of weapons is carried out only with the consent of the country's authorities and with a special permit.

Seedlings of hemp and similar plants

The transportation of seedlings and seedlings of hemp and tobacco is unauthorized. You should not try to smuggle cuttings of exotic plants (growing in gardens, forests or on hotel grounds) and marine animals (picked on the shore or caught in coastal waters) across the Turkish border.

Rocks, fossils, corals, shells

There is no official ban on the transport of corals, shells and stones picked up on the beach in Turkish legislation.

But the border service, guided by the requirements of the Customs Code of the republic, can classify the found objects as historical value, seize shells, stones and corals for examination, and arrest the traveler.

What goods do we deliver?

Our company does not limit its range of services to specific items of goods suitable for delivery. Today we transport about 90% of products from Turkey to the Russian Federation.

Most often, among the orders of entrepreneurs from the Russian Federation you can find such names as:

• elements of textile products;
• fabrics, threads, sewing accessories;
• equipment for enterprises;
• spare parts for agricultural equipment;
• food products (mainly oriental sweets, tea, coffee, olives).

Stages of cargo transportation in the direction “Türkiye - Russia”

RTUCargo is a company whose employees take a comprehensive approach to the issues of transporting goods, accompanying products from the manufacturer’s warehouse to the final point - the customer’s door.

Cooperation with us occurs in several stages:

1. Preliminary consultation. To ensure that the company’s services fully meet customer expectations, we clarify the order details in advance, and then select the best way to move a specific cargo.
2. Product repurchase. RTUCargo employees carefully check the products from the supplier. If the supplier provides goods of inadequate quality and does not fulfill the agreement, we will not conclude a deal to the detriment of the client.
3. Delivery of cargo to the Russian Federation. We take care of all customs issues, and also independently prepare the necessary package of documents.

We calculate all possible risks and difficulties in advance and accurately determine delivery times.

Deadlines

The established period for filling out and submitting a declaration for Turkish goods ranges from several hours to 2 working days and depends on the type of cargo, the number of items in the invoice and the number of EAEU HS codes.

The customs authority checks and releases the declaration within a few hours from the moment of its registration, if no changes are required to the declaration and all permits are provided. There are also other reasons for delay, which our company, having extensive experience, minimizes, thereby saving time and money for its clients.

Any deviation from the planned customs clearance period is fraught with downtime and additional costs for the foreign trade participant, which is why it is important to minimize all risks of increasing customs clearance time.
