Why companies move part of their purchasing to Türkiye
- Time: FTL road transport from the Istanbul or Bursa area to Poland takes about 7–10 days — versus 35–45 days of sea freight from China.
- Formalities: the EU–Türkiye customs union and the A.TR document waive duty on most industrial goods.
- Flexibility: smaller order batches and a shorter replenishment cycle mean less capital tied up in stock.
- Risk: a second sourcing direction reduces dependence on disruptions on the Asian routes.
What we organise
- full-load FTL and groupage LTL transport from across Türkiye,
- customs clearance with the A.TR document and advice when goods don't qualify for preference,
- vetting of Turkish suppliers and coordination of loadings,
- delivery to the warehouse in Poland including booking-in.
We've been running the Turkish direction operationally since 2026, handling both groupage shipments for e-commerce and regular FTL lines — including clearance of industrial goods such as power generators.
Türkiye or China — how to do the maths?
The purchase price in Türkiye can be higher than in China, but the maths gets interesting once you add freight, duty, the cost of tied-up capital and the risk of delays. For many product groups — textiles, furniture, equipment, some electrical goods — the total landed cost comes out comparable, while rotation is 4–5 times faster. We'll calculate both scenarios on your numbers.
Frequently asked questions
How much does transport from Türkiye to Poland cost?
FTL is charged per route, LTL per loading metres or weight. Rates change seasonally — send the load details via the form and within 24 h you'll get a specific offer.
Will I pay duty on goods from Türkiye?
For most industrial goods covered by the customs union — no, provided there is an A.TR document. Agricultural products and some groups require individual analysis; we'll check this before the order, not after.
How quickly will the goods be in Poland?
Typically 7–10 days from loading in Türkiye, including border crossings. For LTL shipments add 2–4 days for consolidation.
