Temporary Storage

Goods that are not in free circulation brought into the Customs Territory of Turkey, after being presented to the customs, are in the status of temporarily stored goods until they are subjected to a customs-approved treatment or use, and the storage process in this way is called temporary storage.

Our company provides temporary storage solutions for the protection of goods during the customs clearance process, ensuring complete and undamaged delivery of the goods to the customer.

Before your goods arrive at the Customs Territory of Turkey, a declaration containing general information about the vehicle in which your goods are transported and the goods in that vehicle is given. This statement is called a "summary statement".

From the date of submission of the summary declaration, a "customs-approved transaction and use" must be determined for your goods within 45 days if your goods arrived by sea, and within 20 days for other routes. In cases where the summary declaration is given in advance, these periods start after your goods are presented to the customs.

During this process, the goods arriving in the Customs Territory of Turkey are presented to the customs by your carrier. Your goods are in the status of "temporarily stored goods" in terms of customs legislation, from the time the goods are presented to the customs until they are subjected to a customs-approved process and use.
