Introduction

This paper attempts to give a brief outline of customs clearances in Turkey. It is important to emphasize that customs procedures are changing and developing quickly in Turkey. This article puts customs regulations in a nutshell by addressing serious challenges of customs debtors in the practice of those procedures.

What is "Customs Administration" or "Administrations" in Turkey?

Currently the Ministry of Trade is responsible for customs acts, actions and regulations.

Nevertheless the word "customs administration" may imply a number of institutions amongst others, "customs office of entry", "customs office of import", "customs office of export", "customs office of exit". All of these authorities are capable of taking a decision on customs debtors.
