Statutory Scope & Legal Architecture

Under Articles 330–348 of the Customs Regulation and Customs Law No. 4458, commercial cargo placed under customs supervision (temporary storage or Type-A / Type-C bonded warehouses) can be transferred to another bonded facility, to a Free Trade Zone, or transshipped onto another vessel/aircraft without paying duties, under strict customs custody.

Operating customs transfers requires immediate coordination between the dispatching customs directorate (Çıkış Gümrüğü) and the receiving customs directorate (Varış Gümrüğü). Unsealed transport or failure to register the electronic transfer manifest within statutory deadlines incurs contraband investigations and tax penalties. Topraklar Gümrük coordinates bonded transport fleets, customs escorts (Gümrük Muhafaza memuru refakati), and comprehensive collateral coverage to execute frictionless transfers.

Key Operational Competencies:

  • Antrepo-to-Antrepo Transfers: Filing electronic Transfer Declarations (Aktarma Beyannamesi) between private/general bonded warehouses across Istanbul, Kocaeli, Bursa, and Izmir.
  • Port Container Transshipment (Aktarma): Transferring transit containers directly between deep-sea mother vessels and regional feeder vessels at Ambarlı (Marport, Kumport) and Mersin (MIP).
  • Free Trade Zone (Serbest Bölge) Entry: Transferring non-cleared equipment and raw materials from sea/air ports directly into Turkish Free Zones (ISBI, AHL, Ege Serbest Bölgesi).
  • Customs Muhafaza Escort & Sealing: Organizing official security escorts, weighbridge (kantar) certifications, and satellite electronic lock attachments.
