Common Questions

TURKEY → GERMANY
FREIGHT FAQ.

How long does sea freight from Turkey to Germany take?

Sea freight from Istanbul or Mersin to Hamburg or Bremen typically takes 10–14 days. Transit times vary depending on the carrier, port congestion and whether you ship FCL or LCL.

What documents are needed to ship from Turkey to Germany?

Standard documents include commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading (sea) or airway bill (air), and a EUR.1 movement certificate or preferential origin declaration if applicable. Customs clearance in Germany is required for all shipments.

Is road freight from Turkey to Germany possible?

Yes. Trucks travel via the TEM highway through Bulgaria, Serbia and Austria to reach Germany. The journey takes 4–6 days depending on border crossings and destination. Both FTL and LTL (groupage) options are available.

What is the cheapest way to ship from Turkey to Germany?

For large volumes, FCL sea freight is usually the most cost-effective option. For smaller shipments under 5 CBM, LCL or road groupage tends to be cheaper than air. Contact us for a comparison quote across all modes.
