News > On Turkish ports and their precautions
In international trade transportation, generally, many foreign trade enterprises or customers prefer to choose the mode of transportation by ship. Because, according to the world geographical map, the ocean occupies a large area and effectively connects various countries. In addition, the biggest influencing factor in the selection of shipping is that the shipping charging standard is the cheapest among the charging levels of all modes of transportation. However, since we choose shipping, our cargo ships are bound to pass through some port cities. These port cities benefit from their natural geographical development advantages and have broad prospects for the development of foreign trade. Today, let's meet a peninsula country in Western Asia, which is Turkey. When it comes to Turkey, in fact, if we trace the origin of historical development, we should be no stranger to Turkey. The Turk's predecessor is actually the Turks in China's historical description. It's not strange for us to mention Turks. During the Tang Dynasty, we still had far-reaching communication with this country.
Of course, Turkey is also a typical Peninsula country, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and has formed many famous ports in the long historical practice and development. These ports have played a positive role in promoting Turkey's trade activities. In fact, to be honest, Turkey's relations with its neighboring countries are not very good, but its development is very rational. They have not brought these so-called grievances and hatred into the development of national economic practice. They have bad relations with others in time, but their normal economic exchanges will not be affected at all. Therefore, with its unique geographical environment and its good attitude, Turkey's international trade is also developing in an exemplary way. So what about Turkey's foreign trade market? Let's discuss it in depth:
In fact, although the overall development trend of Turkey's foreign trade market is still good, it is clear to the onlookers. In fact, the development of Turkey's foreign trade market has the following two prominent characteristics: one is that the grade of the foreign trade market is not high, and the other is that the operation and development of the foreign trade market is not standardized. Because the income gap between the rich and the poor in Turkey is still quite large, and most of the middle-income working class people, they do not attach great importance to the brand in commodity consumption, but rather to the price and quality of commodities. Therefore, some small commodities produced by China can be sold in Turkey's foreign trade market. Moreover, Turkish businessmen are smart enough to be described as crafty. Every foreign trade business they take over is a foreign trade order after careful calculation and repeated bargaining. Even so, these Turkish businessmen will still take advantage of some loopholes in the national commodity customs clearance regulations, resulting in trade fraud and economic losses of exporters.
Although Turkey's trade market may not be as perfect as we thought, in view of the commercial profits, we can't give up Turkey's big cake in the development of foreign trade practice. Affected by the topography of the peninsula, Turkey has many good ports, whether for import and export of Turkish trade or other foreign trade cargo ships passing through the Black Sea. In short, Turkey is almost a country with cumbersome docking frequency in the maritime transportation of foreign trade goods. So, what are the more famous ports in Turkey? Let's take a look. There are many port cities in Turkey, among which gemilk, Izmir, Izmit and Mersin are the more well-known ports. Direct flights are generally in Izmir and Izmit, while other ports are generally transit places. In Turkish ports, due to different ports, the tightness of customs declaration is also different. Moreover, in Turkish ports, the FOB orientation of the shipping market is very strong and the CIF advantage is weak. We should choose the ship owner suitable for us according to the actual situation.
When entering the port, we also have many noteworthy places: one is the safety problem. The water depth and channel width of different ports are also different. We must make sufficient preparations in advance, find the right time and make berthing arrangements. The second is to prohibit the discharge of pollutants into the sea, because Turkey is very strict in the treatment of seawater pollution in polluted ports. If it is violated, it will be fined or detained, which will affect the process of customs clearance. Third, the use specifications for low sulfur oil. We can refer to the relevant EU use specifications for low sulfur oil, but the specific situation still depends on the actual management rules of Turkish ports. Finally, the agency service initiative in Turkey is not high. If we don't ask, they won't take the initiative to say it in advance. Therefore, before entering the Turkish port, we should do a good job in the corresponding investigation. For different places, we must take the initiative to ask the Turkish agent we are looking for
