## Who is this service for?

 * Buyers abroad who want to purchase products from Turkey and are looking for support
   in linking purchasing, documents and shipment steps.
 * Turkish manufacturers and suppliers who are new to exporting or plan to send 
   products to a new market.
 * Businesses that plan to bring products into Turkey and want to clarify the import
   steps.

In foreign trade, the buyer, the seller, the carrier and the customs side can be
different people and organizations. When planning the process, it matters that information
and documents move between these parties in good time and in full.

## Our role: coordination

Transport, customs procedures and official applications are carried out by the parties
authorized to do this work, such as carriers, customs brokers and the relevant authorities.
Commercial terms such as price, payment and delivery term are clarified separately
for each request. Harbiteks helps connect the relevant parties and follow the flow
of information and documents. We clarify with you which party carries out which 
step.

## Which steps do we support?

The steps you need depend on your request.

01

### Clarifying your requirement

Together we put in writing the product, the quantity, the origin and destination
points, the planned timeline and the main lines of the commercial terms. Seeing 
what is missing at the start keeps the next steps simpler.

02

### Identifying the parties and their roles

We help you clarify who takes on which task on the buyer, seller, carrier and customs
side.

03

### Delivery terms and scope

Buyer and seller can set the delivery term by referring to one of the Incoterms,
the delivery-term rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). We build
the scope of the quote around the delivery term that is chosen. More detail on Incoterms
is in the topics section below.

04

### Tracking documents and information

We list the commercial invoice, the packing list and any other documents the product
requires, clarify who will prepare each one, and follow up on what is missing. The
documents are prepared by the parties authorized to issue them.

05

### Coordinating shipment and customs steps

We coordinate getting the necessary information to the relevant parties, such as
the carrier and the customs broker, following the schedule, and keeping in touch
with you about important developments. For transport options, see the [International Transport Coordination](https://harbiteksgroup.com/en/international-transport-coordination/)
page.

## Which products do we review requests for?

We review requests for textile and apparel products. Each request is assessed separately
according to the product, the destination country and the terms of the transaction.
Some products may require special permits or be subject to additional regulations.
If your product is of another kind, you can describe it briefly in your request;
we will assess whether it fits our scope.

For product sourcing, see [Product Sourcing and Purchasing Intermediation](https://harbiteksgroup.com/en/sourcing-and-purchasing/).

## What information do we need for a quote?

You do not need to know all of it; you can start with the information you have. 
We complete the missing details together.

 * The product name and a short description. If you know it, the product’s GTİP 
   number. GTİP (Gümrük Tarife İstatistik Pozisyonu) is the customs tariff code 
   of a product in Turkey.
 * Estimated quantity. If it is not yet known, simply say so.
 * Countries and cities of departure and arrival.
 * The planned date or period.
 * The delivery term (Incoterms) you have in mind, if any.
 * The documents you already have and any special requirements you know of for the
   product. You are not asked to send documents in the first step.

Price, timing and scope vary with the product, quantity, route and delivery term.
The form does not calculate a price automatically. After your request is reviewed,
the scope and a commercial quote are prepared separately for requests that are found
suitable; sending a request does not mean that a quote has been given or that a 
service has been accepted.

## How does the process work?

This sequence does not imply acceptance of cargo, a price, a transit time or a delivery
commitment.

**Needs and suitability.**We review your request and clarify any missing information
with you.

**Scope and quote.**For requests that fit our scope, we share the scope of service
and a commercial quote with you.

**Your approval.**Operational steps begin once you approve the scope and the quote.

**Operations coordination.**We coordinate the flow of information and documents 
with the relevant parties.

**Updates and delivery coordination.**We keep you informed about important developments
and continue coordinating the delivery steps.

## Topics that may come up when preparing a quote

The topics below may come up when a quote is prepared, depending on your product
and destination country. Requirements vary by product and country; the same rule
does not apply to every shipment. This section is general information and does not
replace legal or customs advice. A check by a qualified specialist is needed for
your product and destination country. The sources below were checked on 13 October
2026.

01

### GTİP (Turkish customs tariff code)

GTİP (Gümrük Tarife İstatistik Pozisyonu) is the 12-digit classification code of
a product in the Turkish Customs Tariff Schedule. The first six digits are based
on the international Harmonized System (HS); the following digits show a more detailed
sub-classification and statistical information. The taxes applied to imports vary
with the product’s GTİP. How the correct code is determined depends on the product
and calls for a check by a qualified specialist.

02

### Incoterms

Incoterms are eleven rules published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
for use in sales contracts. They define the responsibilities of buyer and seller
for delivery, costs, risk, transport and customs formalities. Which rule is suitable
depends on the product, the mode of transport and the agreement between the parties;
the chosen rule should be stated clearly in the contract. On ICC’s page, the current
edition is Incoterms® 2020.

### TAREKS

TAREKS is the application through which the Turkish Ministry of Trade carries out
import and export inspections electronically and on a risk basis; its aim is product
safety and conformity with technical regulations and standards. Which products fall
within its scope depends on the product group and the relevant communiqué; it does
not apply to every shipment. For transactions made through TAREKS, companies and
the users who act on their behalf are defined and authorized electronically. A check
by a qualified specialist is needed to know whether your product is in scope.

### SABER and SASO (Saudi Arabia)

SASO is the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization. SABER is the electronic
platform used under SASO’s oversight for product registration, conformity certificate
registration and shipment certificate procedures. Some products shipped to Saudi
Arabia may require these procedures. Which product is subject to which regulation,
and who carries out each procedure, depends on the product, the country and the 
transaction; the same requirement does not apply to every shipment. Documents are
issued by the authorities and bodies authorized to do so. Requests for Saudi Arabia
are assessed separately in terms of product, route and scope.

## Frequently asked questions

**Do you carry out customs procedures yourselves?** Customs procedures are carried
out by parties authorized to do this work, for example a customs broker. We coordinate
getting the necessary information to those parties and following up on the process.

**Can I learn the price and the timing now?** Price and timing vary with the product,
quantity, route and delivery term. They are shared together with the scope after
your request has been reviewed, if a quote is prepared.

**What do I need to know to get started?** The product, the origin and destination
points, and the planned timeline are often enough. If you do not know the GTİP number
or the delivery term, just say so in your request; we clarify them together.

**Are the same documents required for every product?** No. The documents required
depend on the product, the destination country and the transaction. A check by a
qualified specialist is needed; we support listing and following up on the documents.

**Which countries can I send a request for?** Requests are assessed separately in
terms of route, product and scope. For details, see the [Markets](https://harbiteksgroup.com/en/markets/)
page, or send your request directly.
