We quote under common Incoterms such as EXW, FCA, FOB, CFR and CIF. Lokum is a shelf-stable confectionery. It should be kept cool and dry and away from direct sunlight and strong odours. We agree storage and transport conditions with you for each shipment.
Export documents
Each shipment is prepared with the documents your customs authority needs, typically:
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Transport document (CMR, bill of lading or air waybill)
- Certificate of origin. Depending on the destination this is an A.TR, EUR.1 or standard certificate of origin, which can reduce import duties.
- Health certificate issued by the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, where the importing country requires it
- Laboratory analysis report and product specification on request
Some markets have additional requirements, such as FDA registration and prior notice for the USA, EAC conformity for the Eurasian Economic Union, or product registration in some Gulf countries. Tell us your destination early and we will check the requirements together with you.
Customs code
Turkish delight is usually classified under HS heading 1704.90 (sugar confectionery not containing cocoa). Chocolate-coated or cocoa-containing varieties may fall under heading 1806. The exact code is confirmed per product on the invoice.
