Service scope

A Trusted Partner in Free Zone Operations

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a free zone and a bonded warehouse?

Free zones are special economic territories with their own regulatory framework, production permissions and tax advantages. Bonded warehouses are temporary storage areas under customs supervision.

How does duty work when moving goods from free zone to Turkey?

This transaction is treated as a regular import; the origin is evaluated and applicable duties, VAT and additional charges are accrued.

Can I use DIR in a free zone?

Yes. Companies in free zones may integrate the inward processing regime for export-oriented production.

Which free zones do you cover?

Through our network, we operate in all licensed free zones across Türkiye.
