Delivery of goods from Turkey

Vitta-Trans LLC provides a full range of services for the delivery of goods from Turkey: from choosing the optimal route and assistance with customs clearance to insuring goods and accompanying them along the way. Cargo transportation is carried out using road, sea, rail and air transport. To save money on transportation, our company also offers you to use the groupage cargo delivery service.

Types of cargo transported

Türkiye is one of Russia’s main trading partners. The popularity of cargo transportation is due to the presence in Turkey of several free trade zones, where a simplified customs regime operates. According to statistics, in 2011 the mutual trade turnover between Russia and Turkey amounted to about 32 billion US dollars. The following cargoes are mainly delivered: fur and leather products, textile products, products made of precious metals, building materials, household equipment, and chemical industry products.

Delivery schemes

When developing a cargo transportation route, we take into account the volume, weight and nature of the cargo, the required number of transport units, and the carrying capacity of vehicles. Using a rational transportation scheme allows you to deliver goods from Turkey with minimal money and time costs.

Delivery of general cargo.Using road transport, goods are delivered from major cities in Turkey: Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa, Adana, Antalya. Sea cargo transportation is carried out through ports in Ankara, Trabzon, Zonguldag and Istanbul. Cargo is sent by rail from train stations in Istanbul. The largest airports in Turkey are located in Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara and Antalya.

Delivery of groupage cargo.Consolidation of cargo from several customers is carried out at a warehouse in Istanbul. Using the most convenient delivery method, the cargo is sent to a temporary storage warehouse, from where the goods are delivered to the address specified by the recipient.

Delivery terms

Delivery of cargo from Turkey by road takes about 7-10 days, by sea – 15-20 days, by air – 5-7 days. Terms indicated do not include customs clearance. Delivery time depends on how quickly the cargo is assembled, how long the goods are stored in the consolidation warehouse, and how quickly they are prepared for transportation. Before sending the cargo, pay attention to the correct filling out of the accompanying documents, as errors and inaccuracies in the papers can increase the time it takes to clear customs control in Turkey.
