Customs between Turkey and the EU

Turkey and the EU form a customs union for industrial goods: such goods travel with an A.TR movement certificate. Shipments still need export formalities in Turkey and transit or import documents in the EU, and agricultural goods follow their own rules.

We prepare the documents and choose the route — by road through Bulgaria or Greece, or by ferry to Italy — depending on the cargo and the delivery date.

  • Groupage for pallets and smaller shipments

Frequently asked questions

Do goods from Turkey need customs clearance in the EU?

Yes. Even within the customs union for industrial goods, shipments from Turkey need export formalities in Turkey and import or transit documents in the EU.

What is an A.TR certificate?

A movement certificate that confirms the goods are in free circulation in the EU–Turkey customs union. It applies to industrial goods and is issued in Turkey.

Which route do you use from Turkey?

By road through Bulgaria or Greece, or by ferry to Italy — depending on the cargo, the destination and the delivery date.
