Questions about transit trade, documents and shipping.

It means buying goods from a supplier abroad and selling them to a buyer in a third country without importing them into Türkiye. The goods travel directly from the manufacturer's country to the buyer's country; the contract, documents and payment are managed from Istanbul.

In most transactions they do not. Where the route requires it, a bonded warehouse or free zone can serve as an intermediate stop; even then, the product is not imported into Türkiye and is not placed on the Turkish market.

No. Marketing authorisation, registration and import permits in the destination country are the responsibility of the buyer or the local authorised representative. We help obtain the manufacturer documents these applications require, such as the declaration of conformity, Certificate of Free Sale and CPP.

We work with letters of credit, documentary collection and advance or partial advance payment. The choice depends on the size of the transaction, the product's production lead time and how well the parties know each other.

Yes. We share documents such as the declaration of conformity, quality management system certificate, certificate of analysis and label samples before order confirmation or loading. Any additional documents the destination country requires are discussed at this stage.

Passive or active cooling packaging, a data logger and a suitable route are chosen according to the storage conditions on the product label. Transfer points and the collection time at destination are planned before loading.

This depends on the manufacturer's policy. Just tell us the product, the quantity and what the sample is for (registration application, evaluation, tender). The cost of the sample and courier charges are discussed separately for each request.

The minimum quantity is usually set by the manufacturer and varies by product. When we receive your request, we look together at the manufacturer's requirement and a shipment size that makes sense logistically.

It depends on how clear the request is. If the model or catalogue number, quantity and destination country are known, the process moves quickly. Requests based on a specification that require comparing several manufacturers take longer.

Our website is available in seven languages. We agree on the language of correspondence at first contact. International contracts and shipping documents are usually issued in English; if the destination country requires another language, translation is planned separately.

We work with Incoterms 2020 rules, mainly EXW, FCA, FOB, CIF, CIP and DAP. CIP or DAP is often preferred for temperature-sensitive and high-value products, and FOB or CIF for bulky sea cargo.

No. Our products are intended for healthcare institutions, distributors and other professional buyers; we do not give medical advice. Information on the use of a product is provided in the manufacturer's instructions for use and on its label.
