How is customs duty calculated?

Customs duty is calculated on the CIF value (product value + shipping + insurance). The duty rate varies depending on the product category and whether an A.TR certificate is available. Industrial products under the Customs Union are subject to 0% duty with A.TR. VAT is calculated on the sum of CIF value and customs duty at the destination country's rate.

What is an A.TR certificate and how do I get one?

The A.TR certificate is an official document that enables free movement of goods under the Turkey-EU Customs Union. It is obtained by the exporting company from the chamber of commerce and approved by customs authorities. At Kolay Parsiyel, we handle the certificate procurement and approval process on your behalf.

Is there a customs exemption for home moving?

Yes, individuals who meet certain conditions can move household goods without paying customs duty. When moving from abroad to Turkey or from Turkey to the EU, you must have resided for more than 12 months and items must have been in use for at least 6 months. Items must not be for commercial purposes and cannot be sold within the first 12 months.

Is there customs duty on shipments under 150 EUR?

Shipments under 150 EUR are exempt from customs duty. However, import VAT still applies. This exemption is valid only for non-commercial, personal shipments. Commercial shipments may be subject to customs duty regardless of value.

A.TR Certificate

Provides duty exemption under the Customs Union

Customs Union Advantage

Turkey has been part of the European Union Customs Union since 1996. Under this agreement, industrial products and processed agricultural goods can be shipped to EU countries without customs duty when accompanied by an A.TR movement certificate. Shipments from Turkey to Germany, France, Netherlands, and other EU countries can benefit from this advantage.

The A.TR certificate is an official movement document that proves goods are in free circulation in Turkey. With this certificate, customs duty rates drop to 0% for products covered by the Customs Union. Textiles, furniture, electronics, machinery, and many industrial products fall within this scope. Fresh food and most agricultural products remain outside the Customs Union.

At Kolay Parsiyel, we handle A.TR certificate procurement and all customs procedures on your behalf. We ensure you benefit from the Customs Union advantage in the most efficient way possible.
