TURKEY — THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THREE MARKETS.

Turkey sits at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and its Customs Union with the EU lets most industrial goods cross into Europe without duties. That makes it one of the most efficient export bases in the region. CANXANSA consolidates cargo at Istanbul and Turkish ports, handles export clearance and A.TR / EUR.1 documentation, and delivers door-to-door across road, air and sea — in both directions.

Common Questions

TURKEY
FREIGHT FAQ.

Which countries do you ship to from Turkey?

We move freight from Turkey to Europe (Germany, Netherlands, Italy, France, Spain, UK, Poland, Belgium), the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, Syria, Egypt) and Asia (China, India). Through our global agent network we also handle shipments to the Americas and Africa. Istanbul acts as the consolidation hub for outbound and inbound cargo.

What is the fastest way to ship from Turkey to Europe?

Air freight is fastest at 1–3 days from Istanbul (IST/SAW) to major European airports. Road freight by TIR truck is the most widely used mode at 3–7 days depending on destination, offering a strong balance of speed and cost. Sea freight is the most economical for large volumes at 7–18 days.

Do Turkish exports enter the EU duty-free?

Turkey and the EU are in a Customs Union for industrial goods, so most manufactured products — machinery, textiles, automotive parts, chemicals — can enter the EU without customs duties, provided rules of origin are met and an A.TR movement certificate accompanies the shipment. Agricultural products and some processed foods fall outside the Customs Union and are subject to standard EU tariffs. We advise on documentation before shipment.

Which Turkish ports and airports do you use?

On the sea side we work through Ambarlı and Haydarpaşa (Istanbul), Mersin, Izmir (Alsancak), Gemlik and Iskenderun. For air freight we use Istanbul Airport (IST), Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), Izmir (ADB) and Ankara Esenboğa (ESB). Road consolidation runs mainly through the Istanbul (Halkalı) and Çorlu hubs.

Can you collect cargo from anywhere in Turkey?

Yes. We arrange pickup across Turkey — Istanbul, Bursa, Izmir, Ankara, Gaziantep, Kayseri, Konya, Denizli, Mersin and all major industrial zones — and consolidate at our hubs before export. Door-to-door delivery is available in both directions.

Do you offer groupage (LTL/LCL) for smaller shipments?

Yes. For road freight, LTL groupage consolidates your cargo with other shipments — ideal for 1–10 pallet loads where a full truck is not economical. For sea freight, LCL groups your cargo into a shared container. Both keep smaller Turkish export shipments cost-effective.

Do you handle Turkish export customs clearance?

Yes. We manage Turkish export declarations and coordinate import clearance at destination with our local partners. We advise on HS codes, A.TR and EUR.1 certificates, and ensure documentation is complete before departure to avoid delays at the border or port.
