LOGISTICS SUPPORT

What is the shipping cost and duration from Turkey to America?

Companies offer various options according to speed regarding shipping from Turkey to America; normal time, fast and very fast. In this case, the increase in speed is directly proportional to the shipping cost. For example, delivering the shipment quickly by air instead of sea route causes an increase in shipping costs.

What is the customs legislation in America?

The importing company is obliged to pay all customs duties before the goods reach the USA. The presence of too many units in the USA regarding standards, technical legislation and conformity control, the complexity of applications, the long duration of customs procedures, and the detailed nature of inspections make it difficult for exports to enter the US market.
