International Shipping Solutions Between Turkey and Europe
Turkey's trade with the European Union exceeds EUR 150 billion annually, making it one of the largest bilateral trade corridors in the world. Road freight carries approximately 65% of this volume, with sea and air handling the remainder. The Turkey-EU Customs Union covers manufactured goods and processed agricultural products, eliminating import duties on most product categories. Despite this advantage, shipments still require proper documentation and compliance with both Turkish and EU regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions About International Shipping
Do I need to pay customs duties when shipping from Turkey to the EU?
Most manufactured goods shipped from Turkey to the EU are exempt from import duties under the Turkey-EU Customs Union agreement, which covers industrial products and processed agricultural goods but excludes raw agricultural products, coal, and steel. To qualify for duty-free entry, shipments need an ATR movement certificate issued by Turkish customs. Agricultural products outside the Customs Union may face duties based on the EU's Common Customs Tariff. Our team verifies the applicable duty status for every product before shipment.
What documents are required for shipping from Turkey to Europe?
Shipping from Turkey to Europe requires at minimum a commercial invoice, packing list, CMR consignment note, and an ATR or EUR.1 movement certificate to confirm the origin and duty status of goods being transported across this trade corridor. Additional documents may include certificates of conformity (CE marking), phytosanitary certificates for food and plant products, and safety data sheets for chemicals. Kolay Parsiyel prepares or verifies all required documentation before your cargo departs.
How long does international shipping from Turkey to Europe take?
International shipping from Turkey to Europe takes 3 to 7 days by road, 7 to 14 days by sea, and 8 to 12 days by rail, with express options available that deliver in as little as 48 hours for urgent shipments. Road freight is the fastest standard option and handles the majority of Turkey-EU trade. Transit times vary by specific origin and destination. Border crossing efficiency, weather, and seasonal demand affect actual delivery dates.
Can I ship to the UK from Turkey after Brexit?
Yes, shipping from Turkey to the UK remains fully supported with additional customs formalities that were introduced after Brexit, including separate UK customs declarations and potential tariff assessments that did not apply during EU membership. The UK-Turkey free trade agreement provides preferential tariff rates for qualifying goods. Additional documentation compared to EU shipments includes UK import declarations and UK-specific origin certificates. Kolay Parsiyel handles all post-Brexit UK compliance requirements.
What is the cheapest way to ship from Turkey to Europe?
The cheapest way to ship from Turkey to Europe is partial cargo by road for small shipments under 10 pallets, starting from EUR 120 per pallet, or sea freight for larger volumes where container rates start around EUR 800 for a shared container. Sea freight costs 30% to 40% less than road but takes 2 to 3 times longer. Rail freight offers a middle ground on cost and transit time. The optimal mode depends on your cargo weight, volume, and delivery deadline.
