Dear Customers,
We would like to inform you of upcoming regulatory changes to Türkiye’s Simplified Customs Declaration, effective July 1, 2025.
This simplified clearance process applies to:
-B2B (Business to Business) shipments valued up to 22 EUR
-B2C (Business to Consumer) shipments valued up to 30 EUR
Note: Value includes transportation costs but excludes insurance.
Key Changes
To qualify for simplified customs clearance, the following receiver information is now mandatory:
-B2B shipments: Receiver’s Tax ID number or mobile phone number
-B2C shipments: Receiver’s Turkish ID number or mobile phone number
Potential Impact
If the required information is not submitted within 72 hours of arrival in Türkiye, a fine of approximately EUR 40 per shipment may be applied.
What You Need to Do
- Accurately complete the ‘You Buy Order’ form with a clear item description and correct value for customs declaration.
- Provide a reachable contact phone number in the receiver’s address details when placing your shipping request.
- Provide the required receiver information (Tax ID, Turkish ID, or mobile phone number) promptly when contacted by local customs authorities.
- Ensure the receiver responds quickly to any customs notifications—shipments may be returned if there is no response within 20 days.
Thank you for your cooperation.
