Frequently Asked Questions
What is TAREKS and why does it delay machinery imports?
TAREKS is Turkey's electronic risk assessment system for product safety. Machinery and electrical equipment imports are screened before customs clearance. If documentation, CE declarations or technical files are incomplete, the system assigns a physical inspection, which can delay clearance by days or weeks.
Which product categories are most affected by TAREKS checks?
Machinery, low-voltage electrical equipment, pressure equipment, personal protective equipment and electromagnetic compatibility-regulated products are the most frequently flagged categories under TAREKS in Turkey.
What documents are required for CE compliance in Turkey?
For most machinery imports, you need the CE Declaration of Conformity, technical file summary, EU-type examination certificate (if applicable), user manual in Turkish and the correct HS code. TurkeyPartner reviews these documents before shipment to reduce TAREKS inspection risk.
Can TurkeyPartner help if a shipment is already held at customs?
Yes. TurkeyPartner can coordinate with the customs broker, assess the missing or incorrect documentation, communicate with the supplier for corrections and track the resolution process to help release the shipment as quickly as possible.
