Transit & Capacity:

Industry Focus: Port Istanbul drives Turkiye’s Eurasian trade, serving sectors like textiles (Istanbul accounts for ~40% of Turkiye’s textile exports), automotive (Ankara’s auto cluster is a top regional producer), consumer electronics (Istanbul’s tech retail hubs), and construction (Turkiye’s nationwide infrastructure development). Whether your company sources textile machinery from Guangzhou factories, automotive parts from Shenzhen suppliers, or consumer goods from Dongguan manufacturers, our consolidation simplifies supply chains for Port Istanbul’s time-sensitive cross-continental operations.

FCL: We use weight-balanced loading for long-haul sea transit (heavy textile/automotive machinery at the base, secured with anti-slip steel straps; medium-weight components in the middle; fragile consumer goods on top) and add TSE-compliant packaging (e.g., industrial-grade wooden pallets, moisture-proof liners)—a must for Port Istanbul’s customs and industry safety inspections. We also optimize container space to align with Istanbul’s multi-modal unloading systems (e.g., crane compatibility for machinery, conveyor integration for consumer goods), reducing on-site handling time by 30% and cutting per-unit costs by 15–20%.

LCL: We consolidate smaller shipments into shared containers, grouping Istanbul-focused goods (textile parts in one section, automotive components in another, consumer goods in a third) and labeling with clear English-Turkish tags (including TSE compliance notes, destination codes—e.g., "Istanbul Textile Zone", "Ankara Auto Factory", "Mersin Distribution Hub"). We segregate textile/automotive goods to prioritize Port Istanbul’s industry-specific clearance (key for production line prep) and consumer goods to speed up cross-border delivery.

Export Clearance: Commercial invoices (itemized by supplier with accurate HS codes: 8447 for textile looms, 8708 for automotive parts, 9503 for consumer toys), packing lists (with TSE/ISO certification references), and certificates of origin (to leverage China-Turkiye Free Trade Agreement (CTFTA) duty benefits for multi-industry goods).

Port Istanbul Import Prep: TSE compliance declarations (for all goods), automotive import authorizations (for restricted parts), textile machinery registration documents (for industrial equipment), and transshipment confirmations (if via Port Said) to speed up clearance at Port Istanbul’s terminals (Ambarlı, Haydarpaşa).

Time Savings: No need to manage transshipment or navigate Eurasian cross-border logistics (e.g., Ankara auto factory delivery windows, Middle Eastern customs protocols)—we handle consolidation, sea routing, and Port Istanbul clearance under one plan, reducing admin work by 70%+ for Turkiye-bound cargo. Our pre-clearance for textile machinery cuts Istanbul hold times by 4–5 days vs. generic forwarders, ensuring compliance with seasonal fabric production deadlines.

Cost Efficiency: Combining shipments cuts sea freight costs by 16–26% (FCL eliminates half-empty containers for machinery/parts; LCL splits shared space costs for components/goods), and CTFTA duty exemptions (often 0–8% for industrial/consumer goods) save an additional 8–12% vs. non-compliant services. Our optimized transshipment routes (e.g., Port Said shortcut) also avoid unnecessary fees, saving 5–7% more vs. longer Mediterranean routes.

Visibility: Track cargo 24/7 via our mobile app (English/Turkish interface)—from factory pickup in China to sea transit, Port Istanbul arrival, customs clearance, and delivery to textile zones, auto factories, or cross-border depots. You’ll get real-time alerts for TSE checks and estimated delivery (critical for textile production scheduling and auto assembly milestones).

EXW: We handle pickup from all your suppliers’ factories (even remote zones in Foshan/Shenzhen), transport to our warehouse, consolidation, sea freight, and Port Istanbul port clearance—ideal if your suppliers lack expertise in Turkiye’s Eurasian logistics (e.g., TSE certifications, automotive import authorizations).

FOB: Suppliers deliver to our Guangzhou warehouse; we take over consolidation, sea freight to Port Istanbul, TSE pre-clearance, and industry-specific unloading coordination—keeping you in control of supplier timelines (critical for textile production peaks and auto assembly targets).

CIF (Port Istanbul Inclusive): End-to-end management—from supplier coordination to Port Istanbul port delivery, including consolidation, sea freight, insurance (covers sea risks, machinery damage, consumer goods spoilage, and customs hold storage fees), and clearance. For textile clients, we add on-site machinery installation support at no extra cost.

Vessel Booking: We secure weekly sea slots to Port Istanbul (direct/Port Said transshipment) and align with Turkiye’s key timelines (e.g., pre-textile season machinery deliveries, pre-auto assembly part restocks, consumer goods holiday prep) to avoid capacity shortages at Istanbul’s terminals.

Guangzhou Export: We prepare CTFTA-compliant certificates of origin to minimize Port Istanbul import duties, and ensure all packaging meets TSE standards (e.g., anti-rust materials for machinery, safety labeling for consumer goods) and industry requirements (e.g., OEKO-TEX for textile equipment, ISO/TS 16949 for automotive parts). For cross-border goods, we add CE marking documentation to meet EU/Middle Eastern compatibility standards.

Port Istanbul Compliance: We submit pre-clearance documents to Turkiye’s Standards Institution (TSE), Ministry of Trade (for CTFTA benefits), and Ministry of Industry and Technology (for industrial equipment) 7–10 days before cargo arrives. This reduces Port Istanbul hold times from 6+ days to 1–2 days, ensuring textile factories run on schedule, auto assembly stays on track, and cross-border goods reach distributors fast.

China Trucking: Our GPS-tracked, industry-specific trucks transport consolidated cargo from our Guangzhou warehouse to Nansha Port (1–2 hours)—anti-rust trucks for machinery, shock-proof for components, and tamper-proof for consumer goods—ensuring on-time loading for Istanbul-bound vessels.

Port Istanbul Local Transport (Optional): We partner with Turkiye’s General Directorate of Highways (KGM)-licensed carriers for door-to-door delivery—equipped with TSE-compliant handling gear (textile loom lifts, automotive part racks), temperature-controlled compartments (for sensitive consumer goods), and Eurasian cross-border permits. We offer dedicated routes to Istanbul Textile Zone (40 mins from Ambarlı), Ankara Auto Factory (4 hours), and Mersin cross-border depot (6 hours).

Comprehensive Insurance: Covers cargo from factory pickup in China to Port Istanbul port (or Turkiye door) — including sea risks, machinery corrosion, automotive part wear, consumer goods damage, and local/cross-border transport accidents. High-value items (e.g., textile weaving looms) get extended coverage for on-site maintenance support at Istanbul’s textile clusters.

Service & Price Advantage: Unlike generic forwarders, we offer Eurasian-tailored consolidation (multi-industry + cross-border expertise) at competitive rates—99.5% on-time delivery to Port Istanbul (backed by optimized routes, TSE pre-clearance, and CTFTA compliance) and 24/7 English-Turkish support for Turkiye’s corporate clients.

Port Istanbul/Turkiye Market Expertise: We know Istanbul’s unique logistics—from Ambarlı/Haydarpaşa terminal optimizations to Eurasian cross-border protocols—and understand Turkiye’s needs (textile exports, auto production, consumer goods distribution), ensuring your cargo aligns with the port’s role as a continental hub.

Local & Regional Knowledge: We understand China’s supplier network (Guangzhou for textile machinery, Shenzhen for automotive parts) and Turkiye’s Eurasian landscape (Istanbul’s transit capacity, cross-border routes to Middle East/Europe), minimizing delays for time-sensitive operations.
