Product Sourcing from Turkey and Purchasing Intermediation
Coordination for your product sourcing from Turkey and your foreign trade processes.
We review your product requirement, delivery country and planned timeline with you, and help coordinate the sourcing, foreign trade and shipment steps. Requests for textile and apparel products are also considered.
Who is this service for?
Our service is for businesses. You can send us your request if:
- You are a company, in Turkey or abroad, that wants to buy products from Turkey.
- You are researching which suppliers in Turkey you could talk to about your product.
- You want to plan purchasing, export paperwork and shipment steps together.
- You are looking for textile or apparel products.
What do we coordinate?
We support the following steps of the sourcing process.
Product and supplier matching
Based on your product description, estimated quantity and delivery country, we assess possible suppliers in Turkey and share the ones that look suitable with you.
Purchasing intermediation
We coordinate and follow up on the exchange of quotes, product specifications and order details between the buyer and the supplier. The decision to buy and the acceptance of commercial terms are yours.
Export preparation
We coordinate packaging and documentation for the export of the purchased goods with the relevant parties. Customs procedures are carried out by parties authorized for that purpose.
Handover to shipment
When the goods are ready, we coordinate their handover to the transport process. Depending on cargo volume, we assess the following options: full truckload (FTL) or less than truckload (LTL) by road, and full container load (FCL) or less than container load (LCL) by sea. Details on road, air and sea transport are on the International Transport Coordination page.
Textile and apparel requests
We also consider requests for textile and apparel products. We are based in Merter, Istanbul, and we coordinate requests in this area with suppliers and other relevant parties.
It helps us understand your request clearly if you state the product type, fabric or model details, your packaging preference, your delivery country and the planned timeline. If you have images or a technical description, you can send them after submitting your request.

How we work
Other product groups and requests outside Turkey
We also consider requests for product groups other than textile and apparel. The scope depends on the product; some products may require special permits or be subject to regulations, and may fall outside our scope.
Our main focus is Turkey. Requests to source from countries other than Turkey are assessed separately, depending on the product, the country and the scope. We review your request and get in touch with you.
What information helps with a quote?
For a first request, your product and your delivery country are enough. If the quantity is not decided yet, you can select “Not decided yet”. The details below make it easier to clarify the quote; we complete anything missing together with you in our discussion.
- Product name, short description and intended use
- Estimated quantity
- Delivery country and, if known, the city or port
- Planned timeline
- Preferred delivery term, if you have one, expressed as Incoterms: standard three-letter trade terms that set out the delivery conditions in international sales contracts (for example EXW, Ex Works; FOB, Free On Board)
- If known, the product’s GTİP number (Gümrük Tarife İstatistik Pozisyonu), the 12-digit code that classifies a product in Turkey’s customs tariff, or its HS (Harmonized System) code
Documents and compliance requirements vary by product
Export requirements and requirements in the destination country depend on the product, the product’s GTİP and the destination country; the same documents or compliance conditions do not apply to every shipment. Some products may need additional registration, a certificate of conformity or a permit. For current information, please refer to official sources and to an authorized expert (for example, a customs broker). We coordinate the flow of information and documents with the relevant parties.

Do you carry out customs procedures?
Customs procedures are carried out by parties authorized for that purpose. We coordinate the flow of information and documents with the relevant parties.
Do you also carry out the shipment?
Transport is carried out by carriers and business partners. We coordinate the planning and the flow of information. For the options, see the International Transport Coordination page.
