We are entering a period in which our foreign shopping habits will completely change. New regulations, which came to the fore recently with the increase in customs duties and lowering of limits, now continue with closer monitoring of our purchases.
With the new decision taken by the General Directorate of Customs, every package coming to Turkey will be notified digitally from which shopping site it came. In this way, it will be possible to track more transparently who bought which product and where. So how will the new application affect us? Here are the details…
When Will the New Application Start?
The new system is aimed to be implemented by August 15. In this context, a field called “marketplace” will be added to simplified customs declarations and it will be mandatory to enter the relevant information. If incorrect or incomplete information is provided, criminal sanctions will be imposed on cargo and logistics companies.
In addition, the new application is expected to significantly affect foreign shopping habits. The customs duty exemption limit, which was previously 150 Euros, has now been reduced to 30 Euros.
Thus, it is expected to increase the cost of overseas shopping due to the cost of customs consultancy, customs duty and additional customs tax burden, leading consumers to choose more expensive local alternatives.
