(4) Aramex Turkey shipment clearance rules on "Declared Value"
If shipment declared value is over 150 EUR
- the receiver must contact Turkey Aramex to complete the brokerage-transferring documents
- the shipment is over the duty/tax free limitation. Thus, the receiver must settle the duty/tax payment.
Turkey Aramex contact:
Phone number: (+90) 2129991222
Opening Hours: Mon.~ Sat. 8:30 am~6:30 pm
- it must go through the formal import customs clearance procedure
- Turkey Aramex won't assist the process and the receiver must find his/her assigned local brokerage company to complete the clearance
- After checking, Turkey Aramex will deliver the original documents to the receiver's assigned brokerage and accordingly transfer the brokerage right to it
- Once process is completed, Aramex website will show "Clearance Documents Handed to Customer for Self-Clearance and Delivery", which is the final update provided on the Aramex online tracking for this shipment
- For any other delivery and clearance details, receiver must check with his/her assigned brokerage
(5) Final Reminder
- Fail to submit the consignee’s Turkey personal ID number, residence permit number, Tax ID number, or any other required identification forms will result in delays in clearance and delivery
- Although the importer is required to submit identity certificates, it doesn't mean all of the parcels can be cleared by this method. For the restricted shipments regulated by Turkish customs policy, the importer must submit the import permits on top of identity certificates for clearance. Shipment will not be released until customs approved. Also, prohibited items are unable to import no matter if importer submit identity certificates or not.
