France is one of the largest trade centres in Europe and offers an important market for imports and exports from Turkey. Freight transport from Turkey to France can be done efficiently and cost-effectively with proper planning and process management. This guide explains step by step each stage of the freight transport process from Turkey to France.
Logistics and Transport Company Selection
Choosing the right logistics and transport company for freight transport to France is essential for the process to go smoothly. A good logistics company can manage all stages of your transport process and determine the most suitable transport routes. The experience of logistics companies in terms of transport time, cost and security measures to France is an important factor. In addition, their knowledge of customs regulations and legislation in France will speed up your processes.
Preparation of Customs Transactions
Customs clearance is critical for the smooth arrival of your cargo to France. Although low customs duties are applied for many products thanks to the customs union between Turkey and France, it is necessary to prepare the correct customs declaration, invoice and transport documents. Documents required for customs clearance:
Export Declaration
Invoice and Waybill
Certificate of Origin (Document showing where the products are produced) A.TR,
Transport Documents (CMR, transport contract etc.)
After the customs procedures are completed, the vehicle sets off and your cargo passes through the French customs and reaches the European market.
4. Customs and Tax Payments
For imports into France, some taxes and duties may have to be paid during the customs clearance of the cargo. Customs duty varies according to the type and value of the product. You can avoid unexpected costs by making correct calculations in customs-related processes in France. Therefore, it is important to seek professional assistance for the customs clearance of your cargo.
Freight transport to France from Turkey can become a smooth process with proper planning, co-operation with logistics service providers and effective customs management. The most important factors to be considered in this process are the selection of the transport mode, the preparation of the correct customs documents, and the selection of efficient logistics and transport companies.
