Importer of Record (IOR) and Exporter of Record (EOR) services in Turkey for IT and Telecommunications Equipment, Laboratory and Research Systems, Data Centre Hardware, Semiconductor Equipment, Medical Devices, Aerospace Components, and Industrial High-Value Hardware, supported by Remote-Hands support for on-ground execution, customs-aligned delivery, and technical coordination across Turkey.
Turkey is one of the most strategically important import and export corridors connecting Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, with a customs environment shaped by complex tariff controls, strict product conformity enforcement, and mandatory importer accountability. For foreign manufacturers shipping regulated or high-value technology into Turkey, clearance feasibility depends heavily on having a locally compliant Importer of Record.
Turkey’s economy is deeply integrated into global manufacturing and industrial supply chains. The country serves as a major hub for automotive production, aerospace maintenance, electronics assembly, and energy infrastructure projects. With a population exceeding 85 million and one of the largest industrial bases in the region, Turkey continues to generate strong demand for imported telecom infrastructure, data centre hardware, laboratory systems, semiconductor-related tools, and regulated medical devices.
Inbound shipments primarily enter through Istanbul Airport, Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, and key maritime gateways such as the Port of Ambarlı and Port of Mersin. Turkish Customs applies rigorous controls on HS classification, valuation accuracy in TRY, CE conformity, technical documentation, and importer licensing.
Uproot Technologies enables compliant, controlled, and execution-ready movement of equipment into and out of Turkey by assuming full IOR and EOR responsibility, supported by Remote-Hands support for physical handling, delivery coordination, and site-level execution.
All imports and exports in Turkey are regulated by Turkish Customs under the Ministry of Trade, operating within a structured customs framework aligned with EU technical standards through the EU–Turkey Customs Union for industrial goods, while maintaining independent customs enforcement and local importer accountability.
Key compliance requirements include:
• Mandatory importer registration and customs accountability
• Correct HS code classification under Turkish tariff schedules
• Accurate customs valuation in TRY with transaction evidence
• Import VAT assessment and settlement
• Country-of-origin disclosure
• CE marking and technical conformity verification
• Declared end-use documentation for controlled equipment
As the Importer of Record, Uproot Technologies assumes full legal responsibility for customs declarations, fiscal exposure, VAT and duty handling, and regulatory compliance, eliminating risk for foreign manufacturers, EPC contractors, and global project owners.
Enterprise IT hardware, servers, routers, switches, and telecom infrastructure imported into Turkey must meet CE and EMC conformity standards, along with strict customs valuation and technical documentation requirements.
Remote-Hands support assists with shipment receipt verification, controlled handling, and coordinated delivery execution.
Scientific instruments, analytical systems, and research devices imported for universities, pharmaceutical labs, and industrial testing centres require precise technical classification and documentation discipline.
Remote-Hands support services support secure delivery and site-level handover.
Turkey’s digital economy expansion, hyperscale investment, and regional cloud growth are driving increased imports of servers, storage arrays, racks, power systems, and networking equipment. Customs authorities apply heightened scrutiny to valuation consistency for high-value data centre cargo.
Remote-Hands support enables staging coordination, deployment readiness, and controlled site delivery.
Electronics test equipment, inspection tools, calibration systems, and measurement devices require detailed technical files and clear declared end use. Semiconductor-related imports often receive enhanced review.
Uproot Technologies provides IOR/EOR oversight with Remote-Hands support execution for sensitive, high-value equipment.
Diagnostic imaging systems, monitoring equipment, and clinical devices imported into Turkey require medical conformity documentation, regulatory compliance alignment, and importer accountability.
Remote-Hands support assists with healthcare deliveries and controlled handover.
Aerospace components, industrial automation platforms, and mission-critical control equipment require precise HS classification, valuation discipline, and technical documentation rigor.
Uproot Technologies manages compliance with on-ground Remote-Hands support coordination for project deployments.
