Frequently Asked Questions: Ankara to Lyon Freight

Practical guidance on transit times, customs certificates, driving bans, and rate structures.

How does the direct Ro-Ro service to France operate for Ankara manufacturers?

Trailers picked up from industrial facilities in OSTİM or Sincan are routed to Pendik or Yalova Ro-Ro ports. Vessels sail across the Mediterranean directly to Port of Toulon. From Toulon, trucks take the A7 motorway directly into Lyon Corbas within 4 to 5 hours, offering a smooth 5 to 7 day transit.

Are defense and precision machinery components subject to special customs controls?

Yes. Certain precision CNC components and aerospace sub-assemblies may fall under dual-use export control regulations. Our customs compliance team verifies export classifications, coordinates with the Turkish Ministry of Trade, and ensures accurate A.TR and End-User Certification.

What transit time is achievable for emergency machine parts to Lyon?

Using our dedicated express minivan service with two alternating drivers, cargo travels overland from Ankara via Kapıkule and Northern Italy into Lyon within 42 to 48 hours, providing round-the-clock speed for urgent factory breakdowns.
