What a consignment needs to clear

TAREKS registration

The importer registers the consignment in TAREKS and obtains a reference before customs. We provide the technical detail the registration needs.

Control certificate

An import control certificate from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is required for food consignments before shipment in most cases.

Analysis reports

Turkish authorities commonly request an accredited laboratory analysis matching the consignment. We arrange this before loading.

Turkish labelling

Turkish-language labelling with importer details, origin, lot and production and expiry dates.
