Turkey raises import duties for footwear and leather

05/05/2020

The Turkish government has introduced additional but temporary customs duty rates for products including leather and shoes to help support its domestic industries “in a fluctuating market”.

Textiles and garments are also on the list of products that will now have additional customs duties ranging between 8% and 35%.

The additional customs duty rates will apply until September 30.

However, goods that are ready for shipment and imported before a certain date will be exempt. The customs declaration should be registered within 30 days from the publication of the decrees (April 21, 2020).
