Chapter information is indicative; the actual obligation depends on the product's function.

Imports of inspected products run through TAREKS, Türkiye's risk-based control system for foreign trade. The system puts each application through a risk analysis and returns either a document review or a physical inspection. How the application is filed — under which product definition and with which documents — directly shapes that outcome. Correcting a badly filed application always costs more than filing it correctly the first time.

What this service covers

  • Product classification and HS-code-based scope assessment
  • Application and document handling — declaration of conformity, test reports, labelling
  • Follow-up of agency requests and management of correspondence
  • Sample and label preparation where a physical inspection is issued
  • Conclusion and delivery of the reference number to your customs broker
  • Preparation of appeal files where a negative decision is issued

How the process works

How the process works

  1. Scope analysis

    Working from the HS code and product definition, we determine whether the product is subject to inspection and which communiqué applies.

  2. Document preparation

    We close gaps in the declaration of conformity, test reports and labelling before the application is opened.

  3. Filing and follow-up

    We file through the system and track the risk analysis outcome and any agency requests.

  4. Conclusion

    We obtain the reference number and pass it to your customs broker for entry on the declaration.

Most common mistakes

  • Test report issued for a different model or series
  • Turkish label not physically applied to the packaging
  • Declaration of conformity lacking an authorised signature
