FWN Turkey ENS System

Dear Colleagues,

 

We kindly inform you that the new Import Control System (ICS), requiring economic operators to file an electronic Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) before transporting cargo into Turkey, will come into effect at January 01, 2012

 

All traders involved in customs transactions and international logistics will have to provide Turkish Customs the following data through electronic declarations, before goods are brought into Turkey.

 

The data will be entered by the logistics companies located in Turkey. Therefore, you have to send the below required data to us before shipments are loaded:

 

MBL number

HBL number

Port of Loading (POL)

Port of Discharge (POD)

Vessel name and voyage number

ETS

Shipper’s full name, address, phone number

Consignee’s full name, address, phone, tax ID number

Notify party’s full name, address, phone, tax ID number

HS code (4 digit)

Exact definition of the goods

 

TIMING OF GETTING INFORMATION FROM YOU

 

Ocean shipments: 48 hours before loading

Airshipments        : One day before departure date

 

Below time specifications are for Customs declaration for the forwarders in Turkey. Therefore we must get the required information stated as above (Ocean: 48 hours before loading; Air: one day before flight date)

 

DECLERATION TIMING FOR TURKISH CUSTOMS

 

OCEAN SHIPMENTS

 

a) Black Sea and Mediterranean ports (SHORT SEA): Minimum 2 hours before vessels arrival

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

 

• If the consignee is “bank” or “To Order”, the full name, address, and tax ID numbers of the bank as well as notify party must be declared

• HS Code should not be written on HBL or MBL to prevent false declarations

• ENS is compulsory for Transit shipments through Turkish ports as well

• False or wrong declaration, or no-declaration will cause the shipments to be stopped and “Not to load” the shipment

• In case of failure to enter summary declaration within specified deadlines, USD 200 penalty will be applied

• In case of amendments, USD 200 penalty will be applied

• There will be additional charge of USD 25/ entry

Happy New Year!
