Frequently Asked Questions

What makes machinery imports to Turkey operationally complex?

Machinery imports require alignment across CE documentation, TAREKS screening, HS code classification, customs broker coordination, freight timing and production scheduling. A failure in any one of these areas can hold an entire shipment and disrupt production continuity.

Does TurkeyPartner handle machinery imports from China and Europe?

Yes. TurkeyPartner coordinates machinery imports from European suppliers, Chinese manufacturers and other global sources, managing CE document preparation, pre-shipment checks and customs coordination at Turkish entry points.

What is the typical timeline for clearing machinery through Turkish customs?

Standard machinery clearance with complete documentation typically takes 3–7 business days. TAREKS inspections, documentation corrections or queued inspections can extend this to 2–4 weeks. Pre-shipment preparation managed by TurkeyPartner significantly reduces the risk of extended delays.

Can TurkeyPartner coordinate with the freight forwarder and customs broker on our behalf?

Yes. TurkeyPartner acts as the operational coordination layer between your team, the freight forwarder, the customs broker and the supplier — ensuring all parties have the correct documents and timelines aligned before the shipment arrives.
