Importing Spare Parts from Turkey: Customs & HS Codes

You don't need to worry about "Will it get stuck in customs?" when buying parts from abroad. HKM prepares all documents completely with its experienced export team.

1. What are HS Codes?

It is the international code that determines how much tax your product will be subject to at customs. Codes usually used for our products:

• 8431.49.80: Parts for heavy machinery (Piston, Bushing, Bolts, etc.).
• 8431.43.00: Parts for boring and sinking machinery.
• 8207.13.00: Rock drilling tools (Breaker Tools).

2. European Union & ATR

Turkey has a Customs Union agreement with the EU. Therefore, we issue an A.TR Certificate for exports to European countries (Germany, France, Italy, etc.).

Advantage: Our European customers do NOT pay customs duty, only the VAT applicable in their country.

3. Other Countries

For the Middle East, Africa, or America, we issue a Certificate of Origin proving the product is Made in Turkey, allowing you to benefit from tax reductions arising from bilateral agreements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Who do I pay the customs duty to?
A: You pay customs duty and VAT to your own government's customs authority (or the carrier on your behalf) when goods enter your country. You do not pay this to HKM.

Q: Are documents included in the shipment?
A: Original Bill of Lading, invoice, and certificates of origin are sent to you separately via DHL/TNT before the goods arrive. A copy is also attached to the cargo.
