A load of pallets. From Brescia to Turkey.
A client company had to ship a few pallets to a consignee in Turkey. We quoted the shipment with export customs included and organised pickup and delivery.
Six facts, no fluff.
Turkey is linked to the European Union by a customs union for industrial products, but it remains a third country: goods leave with an export declaration.
The goods
A few pallets of industrial goods.
The route
From the province of Brescia to an industrial area in Turkey.
The problem
A load too small for a full truck and a destination outside the European Union.
The solution
A single quote with transport and export customs included; import and duties paid by the consignee, as agreed.
Timing
Scheduled pickup at the client's premises on the confirmed day, with vehicle and driver notified in advance.
The result
Goods collected on the planned date and delivered to the consignee in Turkey.

Questions about this case.
Who pays the duties in Turkey?
It depends on the arrangements between shipper and consignee. In this case export customs were included in our quote, while import and duties were paid by the consignee in Turkey.
Do you ship just a few pallets to Turkey?
Yes. We organise shipments from a single unit load to a full truck, with the export declaration filed at our warehouses.
