Sea freight to and from Turkey
You need to move goods to or from Turkey and you already know that sea freight is about more than booking space on a vessel. Port congestion in Istanbul or Mersin, customs procedures, transit time through the Mediterranean, and carrier capacity all affect your margins and your client commitments. Without precise coordination, container availability, documentation accuracy, and routing choices can quickly impact cost control and delivery reliability.
In practice, you need a partner who anticipates these variables and aligns them with your supply chain objectives. As a maritime freight forwarder in Turkey, DocShipper structures your container transport, secures competitive space for your shipment by sea, and manages every step of your international maritime transport so you keep control over lead times and performance, shipment after shipment.
Maritime containerization
You choose the right format for your cargo with FCL, LCL, or RoRo, whether you move full containers, smaller consolidated volumes, or rolling machinery and vehicles to and from Turkey.
Logistics coordination
You benefit from complete logistics coordination and real-time maritime shipment tracking for every international transport to or from Turkey, with one dedicated maritime freight forwarder who centralizes communication and reduces friction at each milestone.
Transport documentation
You rely on us for full transport documentation management adapted to Turkish customs and port requirements, from export declarations to bills of lading, with clear quotations delivered within 24 hours.
Tailor-made solutions
You receive tailor-made maritime transport plans to and from Turkey, aligned with your sector constraints, cargo volumes, and delivery deadlines, combining professional sea freight expertise with precise international logistics execution.
Air freight to and from Turkey
As a strategic hub between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, Turkey offers strong connectivity through Istanbul and major regional airports. Our air freight solutions cover imports and exports for automotive parts, textiles, electronics, and industrial equipment. As your trusted air forwarder, we organize shipment by plane for urgent, high-value, or time-sensitive cargo requiring secure and rapid delivery. We also manage oversized parcel transport with tailored routing and capacity planning.
While transport of goods by air ensures speed and reliability, it involves higher costs, weight and size limits, and specific Turkish customs procedures. Our experts optimize your air logistics and handle shipments starting from 100 kg or 0.5 m³.
Express freight
When deadlines are critical, you can rely on our urgent air freight solutions to and from Turkey. We secure priority space, reduce transit times, and keep your operations running without costly delays.
Special parcels
You can ship oversized and heavy air cargo to and from Turkey with confidence. We manage weight, dimensions, aircraft compatibility, and regulatory compliance for your complex shipments.
Protecting your goods
From high-value electronics to delicate textile samples, we ensure secure air transport to and from Turkey. You benefit from reinforced packaging, careful airport handling, and strict monitoring so your goods arrive in perfect condition.
Peace of mind
Through our global partner network and strong presence at Turkish airports, we provide seamless international coordination. You avoid administrative hassles and connect your business in Turkey to worldwide markets with confidence.
Import and export customs clearance in Turkey
Importing and exporting goods to and from Turkey requires strict adherence to evolving customs clearance procedures aligned with both Turkish Customs Law and the EU Customs Union framework. Businesses often face challenges such as tariff classification disputes, fluctuating customs duties, product conformity checks, and detailed documentation for transit through key hubs like Istanbul and Mersin. Delays frequently arise from incomplete customs declarations or unexpected customs inspections, particularly for regulated goods.
As your licensed customs broker in Turkey, we manage all customs formalities with precision, from accurate tariff coding to electronic submission of documents through the BILGE system. Our customs expertise ensures full customs compliance, anticipation of inspection requirements, and efficient coordination with authorities. With our tailored customs clearance services, your import and export operations remain secure, compliant, and time-controlled.

I contacted DocShipper to organize the import of board games from Asia to Switzerland. Despite my lack of experience in the field and the modest size of my request, my dealings with the staff were always professional and efficient. I received sound advice and the staff always took the time to answer my questions. I look forward to working with DocShipper for the import of my goods and highly recommend their services.

My name is Ad Van Den Bosh. I am a Dutch business man cross-trading in the Far East. I reached Robert Houwayek (DocShipper's representative) to clear a 40HC of greenhouse equipment from Qingdao, and deliver it to Lan Krabue in no time. He suggested that I request a Form E, which I did from the supplier, and was able to enjoy a preferential tariff treatment. DocShipper, a way to help you save both time and money!!

I recently used Docshipper to ship my appliances from Germany to Thailand, and I'm thrilled with the service I received! [...]The team was professional, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. The packaging and handling of my appliances were top-notch, and they arrived in perfect condition. I was impressed with the attention to detail and care taken to ensure a safe and successful transport. I really recommend Docshipper for it.

In the event of goods being stuck at customs, Robert [...] is a customs broker you should arguably consider to release your cargo. Once I knew that my scale modeling tools coming from Spain are being withheld at Suvarnabhumi Airport, I resorted to him to release it and handle the last mile delivery. All what he asked me is to send 2 emails to be able to do it! [...] Well guess what, within 48 hours, it was done! I got my parcel at my place in Phuket.

A vice president caught up in the thick of thin things, an EXW shipment of plumbing supplies for irrigation from Eureka California to Costa Rica is definitely not what I’d like to have on my agenda. Robert’s hang-in-there posture toward any arising challenges in shipping. [...] skillfully handled all US export formalities incl. SED/AES filing, not to mention the sea freight from Oakland POL. Everything ended up working out like a charm!

I feel they covered everything. DocShipper shipped a 20- ft Milvan overseas to Laem Chabang for a customer. The team was responsible for shipping the shipping to another country. Having very little knowledge in this area, I didn't know how to organise myself . One week after my arrival on the Asian continent. Marc O. Was available at all times and nearly instant feedback. Made a stressful event much easier and he definitely knows his job.
