Transit trade, also known as merchanting trade, is the purchase of goods from a foreign country and their sale to another country without importing them into Turkey. The goods travel directly from the country of origin to the country of destination, while the purchase and sale are handled by the company in Turkey.

No. In transit trade, the goods do not enter the Turkish customs territory. The cargo is transported directly from the port or border of departure to the destination.

Our main groups are machinery and equipment, electronic components, electrical equipment, computer hardware, lighting, home appliances, automotive and agricultural machinery spare parts, hardware and bearings, heating and cooling equipment, iron and steel products, and engines and pumps.

The product name and technical specifications (brand, model or part number if possible), quantity, destination country and city, preferred delivery terms and target delivery date. Attaching a technical specification or photos speeds up the process.

Depending on the transaction, the Incoterms 2020 rules we use most often are FOB, CFR, CIF, FCA, CPT and DAP. We agree on the right delivery terms with you, based on the product, the route and your preference.

Letter of credit (L/C), cash against documents (CAD) or advance and partial advance payment (T/T) structures can be used. The method is chosen according to the size of the transaction and the relationship between the parties.

We have no fixed minimum. However, transit trade is usually most efficient for pallet, container or lot-sized orders. For smaller quantities, we will also work out the most suitable shipping option with you.

Before ordering, we review the technical specifications and the manufacturer's documents. If the buyer wishes, a pre-shipment inspection of quantity, packaging and quality is arranged with an independent inspection company.

In every transaction, we screen the parties against international sanctions lists and check the export control status of the product. We do not carry out transactions that fail these checks.

You can write your request in the language you prefer. Quotes, contracts and shipping documents are usually prepared in English.
