Wholesale trade from Turkey reached its peak after global markets were affected by the Corona crisis that disrupted the global shipping system and increased its prices exponentially, moving trade to look for alternatives to Chinese markets affected by the shipping crisis, and to replace them with Turkey's products which feature good prices, competitive quality and acceptable shipping costs.

How do I start trading in Turkey / How to import from Turkey?

If you consider importing goods from Turkey and starting your business, you can do it in 3 ways:

First: The Traditional Way of Import and Trade

You can travel to Turkey, choose the required products from wholesale markets, specialized exhibitions, or companies and factories. Goods are then shipped in agreement with one of the shipping companies available to your country.

This option is somehow hard but allows you to get to explore the markets, compare goods and make deals yourself.

Second: Importing Goods with the Help of a Third Party

You can choose one of the companies specialized in importing and exporting from Turkey, which can offer appropriate prices and products and ship them to your country without the need to bother yourself with travel.

Payments are often a percentage of the total price of the goods.

Third: Import Through One of the Specialized Websites

These sites offer you products and specifications. You only choose the desired product, take advantage of other people's product ratings before purchasing them, until your transactions are completed entirely through your credit card.

Some of the most popular sites are Tradekey and Alibaba, which have a huge number of exporters from around the world and from Turkey.

Turkey's Trade Requirements and Wholesale Import

When importing goods from Turkey to any destination around the world, you will find face the need to provide a company's import and export license, to clear the goods and complete the import process legally.

If this requirement is not met, it is possible to use an import and export company or customs saviour to do it on your behalf, and often the shipping company can meet all the requirements for clearing your goods until they are delivered to you in exchange for the costs involved.

Turkey's Most Important Business Opportunities
