Our View
Turkey has a complex customs and tax legislation in place, which even challenges the most experienced customs law and tax consultants, as it changes frequently. For a foreign exporter, it would be almost impossible to keep up to date with the recent changes to the legal framework, as the government constantly introduces new legislation and duties for new products. An unseasoned exporter and/or importer can easily make a filing error and be required to pay administrative fines or additional duties for the products at the customs port.
Moreover, as a WTO member, Turkey can issue commercial policy defense measures such as anti-dumping measures, to protect the local and domestic markets and producers. The goal is to prevent a foreign actor from exporting certain goods into Turkey for a very low price (i.e. lower than the local production costs) and disrupt the local markets and production. This can be done in a variety of ways; however, the most used one is imposing additional tax duties in the form of anti-dumping measures.
