Trade corridors

Turkey, Europe, and China lanes with operators who know the frictions

Three high-volume corridors. Different rules, languages, and failure modes — and a partner who works them every week.

Turkey ↔ Europe

Turkey ↔ Europe: the corridor where dual fluency matters

Turkey and the EU share one of the densest industrial trade relationships on earth, shaped by a long-standing customs union. That does not mean paperwork is automatic. Preferential treatment, ATR movement certificates, and product-specific controls still decide whether a textile lot or a machine tool clears cleanly.

We work both directions: Turkish manufacturers shipping into the EU, and European exporters selling into Turkey with local VAT, import licensing, and agent coordination in mind.

  • Textiles, manufacturing, agri, and industrial goods
  • Deep knowledge of Turkish customs practice
  • EU entry procedures for Turkish-origin cargo
  • Commercial translation across Dutch, English, and Turkish

Europe → Turkey

Europe → Turkey: export discipline for a demanding import market

Selling into Turkey from the EU is not a mirror image of EU import. Duty schedules, temporary import regimes, and on-the-ground expectations differ. We prepare export documentation, align with Turkish clearance partners, and keep your commercial team informed when a local requirement changes the plan.

  • Machinery, chemicals, food, and consumer goods
  • Export packs matched to Turkish import realities
  • Coordination with Turkish customs agents
  • Clear timelines instead of optimistic estimates

China → Europe

China → Europe: entry procedures built for modern compliance pressure

China → Europe still dominates many industrial supply chains — and the compliance surface keeps growing. Country-of-origin declarations, anti-dumping exposure, CE marking readiness, and supply-chain due diligence all show up before a box leaves the yard.

We handle EU entry for Chinese-origin goods arriving by sea into Dutch ports or by air into Schiphol: pre-arrival filing, clearance, and delivery coordination once the cargo is in the Union.

  • Rotterdam and other NL port entries
  • Schiphol air cargo for urgent SKUs
  • Classification and origin checks before arrival
  • Handoff to inland distribution when required
