Europe outside the EU
Shipping from Spain to Türkiye
Türkiye has a customs union with the EU for industrial products: with an A.TR movement certificate they enter duty-free. In 2025 Spanish exports to Türkiye grew by 7.9% to €9,725 million.
What you need to know
- Customs
- Yes. Export declaration in Spain and import declaration in Türkiye, even though industrial products pay no duty.
- Documents
- Commercial invoice with description, value and commodity code, plus a packing list.
- Export declaration (DUA) filed with the Spanish Tax Agency, which generates the MRN; the exporter needs an EORI number.
- A.TR movement certificate for industrial and processed agricultural products; movement certificate EUR.1 or origin declaration for agricultural and steel products.
- Taxes at destination
- KDV (Turkish VAT) at 20%. Zero duty on products covered by the customs union.
- Agreement with the EU
- EU-Türkiye Customs Union (in force since 1995), with additional agreements for agricultural products and for coal and steel.
- Transport
- Air freight, parcel service, and lorry or ship for large volumes.
- Cargo airports
- IST · IstanbulSAW · Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen
- EU sanctions
- The EU has a regime concerning unauthorised drilling activities in the Eastern Mediterranean, but its list of persons is empty and it does not affect trade.
Practical advice
The A.TR shows that the goods are in free circulation in the EU, not their origin. If you re-ship from Spain products manufactured outside the EU, Türkiye may apply additional duties: check Access2Markets before quoting.
