Turkish companies are registered as an Anonim Şirket (A.Ş.) — the equivalent of a joint-stock company, or a Limited Şirket (Ltd. Şti.) — the equivalent of an LLC. The contract must state the Tax Number (Vergi Numarası) — a 10-digit tax identification number. For bank details, Turkish banks use an IBAN (26 characters, starting with TR) and SWIFT/BIC. The largest banks for trade settlements: Ziraat Bank (TCZBTR2A), İşbank (ISBKTRIS), Halkbank (TRHBTR2A).
Since 2022, Turkey has gained particular importance for Russian foreign trade as a neutral transit jurisdiction. A number of goods enter Russia through Turkish intermediaries or are re-exported after additional processing. In such schemes, it is important to correctly state the country of origin of the goods in the contract and the specification — this affects the customs duty rate and certification requirements upon import into Russia.
Most Turkish manufacturers are concentrated in Organized Industrial Zones (OIZ). The largest clusters: Bursa (auto components, textiles), Gaziantep (furniture, plastics), Denizli (textiles), Konya (metalworking). Before signing a contract, it is recommended to verify the partner through the Turkish trade registry (MERSİS) and request a current registration extract.
Certain categories of Turkish goods are subject to protective or anti-dumping duties in Russia — particularly on a number of textile, pipe products, and food items. Before setting the contract price, check the rate by HS code in the Federal Customs Service database or through a customs broker. Food products and consumer goods may require a certificate of conformity under the EAEU technical regulations (TR TS).
Imports from Turkey: textiles and clothing, tomato paste and canned goods, construction materials (tiles, plumbing fixtures), furniture, chemical products, auto parts, jewelry.
