Dear Mr. Smith,
Thank you for your e-mail message, however I'm sorry for this late reply. I
thing it took sometime for this message to reach to the right person.
The answer for your question is that not necessarily. Currently CE Marking
is not a legal requirement while shipping into Turkey. However if the
product bears CE Marking it faces a different Customs procedures compared to
those with no CE Marking. Under the current customs control regulation any
imported product is subject to control at Customs according to the
corresponding Turkish Standard by Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) which
could be a time and money consuming process depending on the load of TSE
Labs. Because when imported product comes to customs samples are taken and
sent to TSE labs for testing. During this process the whole imported product
bundle keep waiting in the customs.
If the product bears CE Marking, the importer of the product in Turkey (your
representative) can bring CE Marking Technical file to TSE prior to the
import and get the product conformity accordingly without bringing samples
from the imported product bundle thus avoid necessary waste of time and
money.
It is important to note that Turkey is currently in a transition period
according to the Customs Union Agreement signed with EU where it supposed to
comply with CE Marking Directives at latest the year 2001 . So in the near
future the requirement of CE Marking will be a necessity for those who
intent to export products into Turkish market within that extent.
If you need more information please do not hesitate to contact.
