ETGB Import to Turkey: Simplified Customs Entry & Express Logistics

Importing commercial samples, replacement parts, or manufacturing inputs to Turkey can involve heavy customs paperwork and unexpected terminal fees. Simplified Customs Entry (ETGB) is an official electronic clearance mechanism designed for shipments weighing under 30 kg and valued below €1,500, allowing businesses to bypass formal customs brokerage processes.
