Customs Clearance
As of July 2023, the current customs procedure for Humanitarian Cargo is processed as commercial practice and has no consideration for humanitarian cargo in Türkiye.
-
When purchased in Türkiye, the seller declares the items as export.
-
All transit cargo requires a commercial invoice for customs purposes, and this allows the clearing/forwarding agent to act as cargo owner (consignee not agent of the consignee).
The implication of these processes is that no Customs declaration document exists in the name of the cargo owner (humanitarian actor).
