Machinery transport to Türkiye
Türkiye forms a customs union with the EU for industrial goods – customs formalities still apply at the border. The route runs overland through several transit countries or combined with a sea leg. Which option fits depends on machine, destination and schedule.
What matters
- Customs union, but formalities
- The customs union concerns duties on industrial goods; customs declarations and documents are still required.
- Transit countries
- Overland, non-EU countries are crossed as well. This affects documents and schedule.
- Combined routes
- Part of the route can be by sea. Whether that makes sense is checked per order.
- Origin and movement certificates
- Which evidence is needed for customs treatment is clarified by your customs agent.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- Where in Türkiye is the machine going, and who is the importer?
- Who handles export and import declarations?
- Which evidence is required for customs treatment?
- Is the schedule fixed or flexible?
What we need from you

Questions and answers: Türkiye
Does a machinery transport to Türkiye need customs papers despite the customs union?
Yes. The customs union concerns duties on industrial goods but does not replace customs declarations and evidence at the border.
Does the transport to Türkiye always go overland?
No. Besides the overland route through several transit countries, combined routes with a sea leg come into question. We check this per order.
Who is responsible for import into Türkiye?
Usually the consignee or their customs agent; responsibility is agreed before the quote.
