International Shipping & Customs FAQs

Verified operational answers to critical questions regarding Turkish export logistics, customs duty relief, and transit schedules.

How does the EU-Turkey Customs Union provide 0% import duty?
Under the EU-Turkey Customs Union, manufactured industrial goods circulate free of import tariffs when accompanied by an official A.TR Movement Certificate issued by Turkish customs authorities.
What is the transit time for road freight from Turkey to Western Europe?
Standard road FTL tilt and mega trailers take 4 to 6 business days from Istanbul, Bursa, or Izmir to Germany, France, Italy, and Benelux. Express dual-driver minivans deliver within 48 to 72 hours.
Can Brosan Logistics handle hazardous cargo (ADR) and temperature-sensitive goods?
Yes. Our partner carrier network includes Code XL ADR-equipped tractor units certified for chemical classes 2 through 9, as well as bi-temperature reefers (-25°C to +25°C) with continuous calibrated temperature data-loggers.
What documentation is required for commercial exports from Turkey?
Commercial exports require an export invoice, packing list, CMR consignment note (for road) or Bill of Lading (for sea), export customs declaration, and origin proof (A.TR for EU, EUR.1 for UK/EFTA).
How are international road transit permits and weekend bans managed?
Brosan Logistics utilizes Ro-Ro sea connections (Pendik/Ambarlı to Trieste/Toulon) to bypass Balkan border congestion and permit quotas, while managing weekend European driving restrictions strategically.
What payment terms and cargo insurance coverage are available?
All shipments travel under CMR Convention liability coverage. Additional all-risk marine cargo insurance is available upon request. Flexible commercial credit terms are available for approved corporate shippers.
