Export; takes place with the sale of a good or service to another country. In order to export, studies for international sales and marketing must be carried out.

Logistics processes have become manageable with a single click in our time. With the increase in marketplaces, lower costs, and simplified procedures, starting to export has become more attractive.

Who Can Export?

First of all, let me provide the information that exporting can be done without establishing a company. To export; a tax number must be obtained from the tax office along with the TR identity number. Exporting can be done by hiring an accountant and authorizing a customs broker.

If you want to make a large-scale export, establishing a company will be advantageous. Thanks to your company, you can get a VAT refund.  For this, you can perform micro-export and benefit from various supports offered by the state. In addition, owning a company gives a trustworthy image to the counterparty. This is of great importance in terms of continuity.

For macro-scale exports, membership in exporters' associations is required. Which association to register with should be determined according to the sector. For example, if hazelnuts are to be exported from the Black Sea, registration must be made with the Black Sea Hazelnut and Products Exporters' Association. The really important thing is that the sector matches, not the region.

There are 2 channel options for customs procedures:

• Customs officer and customs broker

• The appropriate channel should be selected according to the internal structure of the company.

What Are the Documents That the Exporter Needs to Prepare?

The exporting company prepares an e-invoice, an English invoice, and a packing list so that customs procedures can be carried out in its country. It shares the necessary information with the customs broker to prepare documents such as certificate of origin, ATR, EUR1, and to open a declaration.

The documents to be prepared vary according to the transportation types. A bill of lading is prepared for cargoes to be transported by sea or air. CMR is prepared for cargoes to be transported by land.

The shipping companies prepare these documents. The exporting company must share information such as the product name, HS code (GTIP), quantity, weight, number of packages, shipping address, and the buyer's contact details included in the content of these documents with the carrier, and then check and approve them.

After the transactions and payments are made, the declaration is closed.

If the products are delivered to the counterparty and the export value is collected, the export transaction is completed.

After this stage, customs documents are submitted to the tax office and requested.

The procedures required to export end in this way. In summary, export is carried out by preparing the necessary documents after the appropriate marketplace is found, and organizing them through a customs officer or customs broker channel.
