Export Customs Clearance

Export procedures from HS code classification to certificates of origin and closing the export declaration.

Export customs clearance is the process of declaring goods to be shipped abroad, preparing the required documents and getting their exit from Turkey approved at customs. At Akyol Gümrük, we handle this process on behalf of your company, from the feasibility study to closing the export declaration.

We plan every step, from exporters’ association membership and origin documents to consular legalisation and temporary export deadlines, and deliver the documents to the bank, the buyer and the carrier on time.

How Does Exporting Work?

Exporting is completed in five main steps. The documents required depend on the HS code of the goods and the destination country.

Exporters’ Association Membership
The exporting company becomes a member of the relevant exporters’ association for the type of goods.
HS Code and Export Invoice
The HS code of the goods is determined and the export invoice is drawn up; any product-specific permits and control certificates are obtained.
Origin and Legalisation Documents
Depending on the destination, an A.TR, EUR.1 or certificate of origin is issued, with chamber of commerce and consular legalisation where required.
Declaration Registration
The export declaration is registered electronically; the goods may be inspected depending on the channel assigned by the system.
Exit and Closure
Once the goods leave the country, the customs export declaration is closed and the exporter’s copy is delivered to the company.

Which Origin Documents Are Used in Exports?
