Dear All,
The US Department of Commerce does a great job in putting the requirements for
Turkey. See link below which also deals with customs and regulatory issues and
labeling.

Scott,
Turkey is an EU 'wannabe' as they want to join the EU.
As with other countries that want to join in they need to work at
the same level as the EU countries. Of interest to us is that these
countries implement the safety requirements from the EU and, of course,
require the CE marking for any product brought into the country. As
with
the EU, customs is the inspection point for this. They are looking for
the
product CE marking and the MDoC; I have never run into an issue with the
accompanying MDoC being provided in English. As I remember, several EU
wannabe's have been used German customs training to come up to speed on
this
issue; so don't fall into the trap that they don't know what they are
looking for.
For anyone who is shipping into any EU/CE mark country for the first
time (or irregularly) I recommend that the CE mark be applied on the
shipping packaging so that the customs inspectors don't have to open the
packaging to find it. I also recommend that a signed copy of the MDoC
be
included in the shipping papers so it is available during the customs
review. This approach has seemed to work well in most instances.
You will have to deal with all the country specific issues for any
of these countries also. Language issues always come up. For my
clients
the units provided are either a one-off or small run of units. The
clients
push the language issues - translation, printing, etc - back onto the
customer or their importer/representative who are then responsible for
translating manuals and markings (as needed) and providing this with the
units. This helps get the needed level of effort properly applied for
the
job being done.
I have been helping machinery manufacturer's work thru this process
for custom machines for more than 10 years. You do run into some
interesting questions that are raised by folks who are just getting into
this. When questioned, it's just best to provide a direct or indirect
pointer to what the main EU countries do. This usually resolves the
issue.
Common sense is the best approach to resolving any of this.
I'm sure that you will get a lot of good advice from this group on
this subject.
br, Pete
