Customs
Türkiye is outside the EU. Since 2022 tightened rules apply: the personal import threshold is €30 per shipment; above that, duty (up to 20% by goods type) + VAT 20% (KDV, raised from 18% in 2023) is charged. Shipments over €1,500 must go through commercial import. Postal services have delays of 7–21 days; express couriers are more reliable.
