EU–TURKEY CUSTOMS UNION — DUTY-FREE ACCESS FOR FRENCH EXPORTS

Industrial goods exported from France to Turkey benefit from the EU-Turkey Customs Union, in force since 1996. Most manufactured products — machinery, chemicals, textiles, automotive parts, electronics — enter Turkey without customs duties, provided rules of origin are met.

Agricultural products and processed foods fall outside the Customs Union and are subject to standard Turkish import tariffs. We advise on origin documentation and HS code compliance before every shipment.

Common Questions

FREIGHT FROM
FRANCE — FAQ.

How long does road freight from France to Turkey take?

TIR trucks from France to Istanbul take 3–5 days depending on routing — either via Italy, Slovenia and the Balkans (Bulgaria–Turkey), or via Germany and the Balkan corridor. Transit to Ankara is 4–6 days, to Izmir 5–7 days. We book FTL (full truck) or LTL groupage depending on your volume.

Does the EU-Turkey Customs Union reduce my export costs?

Yes, significantly. Industrial goods exported from France to Turkey under the Customs Union face zero customs duties at Turkish import. This applies to machinery, chemicals, textiles, electronics and automotive parts. You still need correct HS codes and, where applicable, EUR.1 movement certificates or origin declarations. We prepare all documentation.

What are the main sea freight routes from France to Turkey?

Marseille is the primary departure port for Mediterranean routing to Istanbul or Mersin — transit 7–10 days. Le Havre offers Atlantic/North Sea routing that connects via Gibraltar and the Mediterranean — transit 10–14 days. LCL consolidation is available from both ports for smaller consignments.

Can you handle wine and spirits exports from France?

Yes. We handle wine, spirits and other agri-food products including temperature-sensitive cargo. These shipments require specific documentation: certificate of origin, EUR.1, health certificates and phytosanitary certificates where required by the destination country. We coordinate with the relevant French export agencies to ensure full compliance.

What documents are required to export from France?

Standard French export documentation: commercial invoice, packing list, export customs declaration (EX-A), EUR.1 or origin declaration for preferential tariff treatment, and bill of lading (sea), airway bill (air) or CMR (road). Specific product categories (food, chemicals, dual-use goods) may require additional licences or certificates. We advise per shipment.

Do you offer LTL (groupage) road freight from France?

Yes. For road freight, LTL groupage consolidates your cargo with other shipments into a shared truck — ideal for 1–10 pallet loads where a full truck is uneconomical. We run regular groupage departures on the France–Turkey corridor via the Balkan route.

Can you ship from any city in France?

Yes. We arrange pickup from anywhere in France — Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Strasbourg and beyond. For air freight we use CDG, LYS or MRS. For road we coordinate direct collection from your facility.
