Export License

Many entrepreneurs choose Turkey to establish their business due to its strategic location. As a bridge between two continents and a crucial hub for international trade throughout history, Turkey is an excellent choice for businesses involved in international trade and logistics. In this brief article, we will explore how to start exporting and importing after establishing a company in Turkey.

Why Opt for Expert Assistance for Export Licenses?

For entrepreneurs, navigating export and import processes can be complex and challenging. Regulations and restrictions vary significantly depending on the country and products involved. Managing processes such as customs clearance and delivery can be extremely difficult without proper guidance. To effectively begin your operations in Turkey, having a consultant to assist you through this process is ideal. This way, you won’t have to worry about timing, finding trustworthy logistics and customs services, or the safety of your shipments. At Workon, we are here to help you expand globally.

How to Start

Once you have established a Joint Stock Company (JSC) or a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in Turkey, you can begin export and import activities. For import, rules and regulations vary depending on the products; however, there is no specific license requirement for importing itself. For export, the process is more complicated. You will need to register with the exporters’ assembly and obtain a registered e-mail address, known as a KEP address in Turkey.

If you decide to work with us, we will obtain a power of attorney from you for customs and logistics. As an official KEP provider, we will then provide both of these services to you. We will request all necessary documents and information from you and learn your buyer’s expectations and requirements, such as health certificates. We will then proceed with product-specific procedures. For example, for exporting food, a permit from the Ministry of Agriculture is often required. We will obtain all the permits and licenses required by the government and your buyer before your shipment date, ensuring everything is delivered smoothly.
