Türkiye Anti-Dumping & Safeguard Measures in Force 2026

1459 records from the Turkish Ministry of Trade's measures-in-force list, covering 49 origin countries, 80 product groups and 492 HS codes — with rate text, legal reference and published expiry date. This directory makes the 1.459 trade defence measures currently recorded as in force on imports into Türkiye browsable by tariff code, by origin country and by product name, instead of searchable one tariff code at a time: 1.407 anti-dumping duties (dampinge karşı vergi), 49 safeguard measures (korunma önlemi) and 3 countervailing duties against subsidisation (telafi edici vergi), spread across 492 distinct Turkish tariff codes (GTİP), 49 origin country codes and 3 country groupings. Every record shows its rate text, the communiqué or Presidential Decision it rests on, its Official Gazette date and number and its declared end date exactly as published — rate texts are not simplified, averaged or reduced to a single figure. One scope limit runs through the whole directory and is worth stating before you search it: this is a directory of anti-dumping duties, countervailing duties and safeguard measures only. Surveillance (including valuation surveillance), additional customs duty, quantitative restrictions, tariff-rate quotas and other trade policy measures are outside it, and finding no record here does not mean that no other measure or financial obligation applies to your import. Figures are as at 07.08.2026; the binding text for any individual measure remains the communiqué or decision published in the Official Gazette (Resmî Gazete).

Types of measure

What is in this directory — and what the shape of the data already tells you

The records are compiled from the "measures in force" lists published by Türkiye's Ministry of Trade, which issues them as spreadsheets and PDFs. Nothing new is generated here: the contribution is to make the same information browsable by tariff code, origin and product name. Each record carries its rate text, the communiqué or Presidential Decision behind it, its Official Gazette date and number, its file number and its declared end date as published. As at 07.08.2026 the directory holds 1.459 records in force — 1.407 anti-dumping duties, 49 safeguard measures and 3 countervailing duties. Türkiye's trade defence landscape is overwhelmingly an anti-dumping landscape, and countervailing action against subsidisation is genuinely rare in Turkish practice, so if you have been told your goods face a "countervailing duty", it is worth checking whether an anti-dumping duty or a safeguard additional financial obligation is actually meant.

The exposure is heavily concentrated, by sector and by origin. Iron and steel (Chapter 72) carries the largest block of records by a wide margin, with textiles (Chapters 54 and 55) forming the next cluster, and a small group of origins — China, South Korea, India, Russia and Japan — accounting for much of the remainder. The concentration cuts the other way too: most safeguard records apply to imports from all countries regardless of origin, and 124 records attach to a country grouping rather than to a named country. A thin-looking sector is therefore not evidence that your particular code and origin are clear. Check the code and the origin, not the sector.

The records resolve into 80 product headings across 492 tariff codes, and one product can be covered by several separate communiqués with different rates, different origins and different end dates — reading one communiqué is not the same as knowing your position. There is a second limit to what a list of this kind can carry: it is a summary of records, not the text of the measure. Firm-level rate tables, the scope and exclusions of the product description, developing-country exemption lists and quota administration rules are not part of this dataset. For those you have to go to the Official Gazette text, and every record here carries its Official Gazette date and number so that you can find it.

Anti-dumping, safeguard, surveillance: which instruments are in this list and which are not

The most common practical mistake is to put legally distinct instruments into one bag because they feel similar. Anti-dumping duties and countervailing duties are unfair-trade remedies under Law No. 3577 on the Prevention of Unfair Competition in Imports; they are decided by the Board for the Evaluation of Unfair Competition in Imports, announced by communiqué, and applied by origin. Safeguard measures sit on a different track altogether: the Decision on Safeguard Measures in Imports (2004/7305) and its Regulation, decided by the Board for the Evaluation of Safeguard Measures in Imports, with no requirement that the imports be unfairly traded, and — unless taken for a specific origin — applied to imports from all countries. Those three instruments together are what the Ministry of Trade groups under the heading trade defence instruments, and they are exactly the scope of this directory.

"Trade policy measures" is a wider concept than that. It also covers surveillance, quantitative restrictions and tariff-rate quotas, and alongside them an importer can face additional customs duty. None of those are in this directory. Surveillance in particular is not a tax at all — it is an import monitoring instrument, and valuation surveillance is routinely mistaken for an anti-dumping duty. Because more than one instrument can bear on the same consignment, finding no record here is not a finding that nothing applies to your import. It means only that, on the three instruments covered and on the list synchronised on 07.08.2026, there is no record for that code, product or origin. For the instruments outside this scope, work from the Ministry's own publications and with your customs broker.

There is a terminology trap in Turkish that is worth flagging at the same point. The phrase telafi edici vergi is used for two entirely separate things: the countervailing duty against subsidisation, which is a trade defence instrument and appears in this directory with 3 records, and a completely different charge arising under the inward processing regime when goods made with imported inputs are exported. The second is not a trade defence instrument and has nothing to do with the records on this page, so always check which one a document means.

How a measure comes into being, and how long it actually lasts

Anti-dumping and countervailing investigations are conducted by the Ministry of Trade's Directorate General of Imports. The decision to initiate is taken by the Board for the Evaluation of Unfair Competition in Imports, submitted for the Minister's approval, and announced by a communiqué published in the Official Gazette. Safeguard investigations run through the separate Board for the Evaluation of Safeguard Measures in Imports, and safeguard decisions are published as Presidential Decisions. The two tracks use different legal instruments and different reference numbers, which is why this directory labels them separately rather than merging them under one "legislation" field.

Definitive anti-dumping and countervailing measures run for five years as a rule and lapse five years after entry into force, and measures due to lapse are announced by a communiqué published in the Official Gazette during the final year. Expiry is not automatic in either direction. Domestic producers may apply, at the latest three months before expiry, for an expiry review (nihai gözden geçirme soruşturması) supported by evidence that dumping or subsidisation and injury would continue or recur. If no such application is made and no review is opened, the measure does lapse. If a review is opened, the existing measure stays in force until the review concludes. The review is limited to one year and may be extended by six months, and it can end with the measure continuing unchanged, lapsing, or continuing in amended form. Safeguards are on a different footing again: extension there is a matter for the Board for the Evaluation of Safeguard Measures in Imports and a Presidential Decision, not for an expiry review.

This is why a published end date is not the same as a legal end. As at 07.08.2026, 1.251 records carry a declared end date in the future, 249 of them falling between 07.08.2026 and 07.08.2027, while 208 records carry a declared end date that has already passed and still appear on the Ministry's in-force list. Those 208 are not one situation. 136 of them are extension measures, whose life is shaped by the parent measure they attach to rather than by their own date, and many of those sit alongside a parent measure on the same product that is still current. The remaining 72 are main measures, where an open expiry review is one plausible reason for the discrepancy — but this dataset does not record whether a review has been opened for any given record. The directory shows both groups rather than hiding them, labelled for what they are, because hiding them would push a reader towards exactly the wrong conclusion. Treat these dates as a prompt to verify from the Official Gazette, never as a finding that duty has stopped.

Why the published rate is almost never a single number

The rate field in Türkiye's measures lists is not a clean numeric column and should not be treated as one. As at 07.08.2026 the dataset contains 164 distinct rate texts — that is the number of differently worded cells as published, not a claim that there are that many pricing structures; the underlying structures are far fewer. Some rates are ad valorem percentages applied on the CIF value, some are specific amounts per unit of quantity, and some cells carry both a percentage and an amount in currency at once. 64 records — all of them anti-dumping duties — express a percentage together with a cap, a maximum amount per unit ("Azami"). That is precisely why this directory prints the rate exactly as published instead of parsing it: pulling the bare percentage out of a cell that also caps the duty at a maximum amount per kilogram would overstate the charge on heavy goods by a wide margin.

The most important structural feature is the range. As at 07.08.2026, 860 records carry a numeric range in their published rate text, and 855 of those are anti-dumping or countervailing records — nearly the whole of the range set. On those records the range is not an approximation or a band of discretion: exporters that cooperated fully in the investigation can be given individual rates, while a single residual rate covers all other exporters from that origin, so one measure can carry several rates at once. The duty itself is set at the dumping margin, or at a lower level where a lower rate is sufficient to remove the injury (the lesser duty rule / daha az önlem kuralı). Reading the bottom of the range as "your rate" is optimistic to the point of being dangerous; reading the top as "your rate" can kill a sourcing decision that would in fact have gone through at a lower figure. Which rate applies to your consignment is set out in the firm list of the relevant communiqué, and that firm-level list is not part of this dataset.

Safeguard rates behave differently in three respects, and the difference matters when you read a safeguard record. First, a safeguard carries no exporter-specific rates at all, so a range on a safeguard record must not be read as a firm-level range — read the product description and the rate schedule in the decision itself. Second, safeguard rates are frequently published as a schedule of successive dated periods rather than as one figure; the periods are not uniform, an opening provisional period is often shorter than the steps that follow, and while the amount usually decreases from step to step it does not always — at least one schedule in force opens at a lower amount per tonne than the step that comes after it. The amount that applies depends on which period the customs declaration date falls into. Third, the rate text of a safeguard often carries more than a rate: as at 07.08.2026, 45 records — all of them safeguards — carry developing-country quota information inside the rate text, and 29 records — again all safeguards — contain a "provisional measure" period embedded in a published schedule. Those 29 records are dated steps inside a schedule, not a statement that those measures are currently provisional.

Origin decides — not the country you ship from

Origin (menşe) is the economic nationality of the goods, and trade policy measures are applied according to origin. The country the goods were dispatched from, the loading port and the country where the seller is established do not decide whether a measure applies — origin does. The distinction is built into the customs declaration itself: the origin country code is declared in box 34a, while the country of dispatch or export is declared separately in box 15. The identity of the supplier is a third, separate axis: it can decide which rate within a measure applies, and a small number of measures are written to cover named firms only.

The origin rule trips up European supply chains in particular, because of a document that is widely misunderstood. An A.TR movement certificate demonstrates that goods are in free circulation — it does not demonstrate origin. Third-country goods that entered free circulation in the EU and then move to Türkiye remain subject to any measure attaching to their actual origin. The document that evidences preferential origin is the EUR.1 movement certificate; the document that evidences non-preferential origin is the certificate of origin (menşe şahadetnamesi), which confers no tariff reduction of its own. None of these documents creates the outcome — origin does; the documents prove it.

Article 205 of the Customs Regulation is where this becomes operational, and it repays reading in full rather than in summary. Its third paragraph provides that where goods released for free circulation are subject to trade policy measures, additional customs duty or other financial obligations such as an additional financial obligation, the origin of the goods is proven by a certificate of origin, presented with the free-circulation declaration. Its fourth paragraph then lists the cases in which a certificate of origin is not sought — among them where documents evidencing preferential origin are presented, where the goods are imported directly from the country the measure is applied to or are declared as originating in that country, and where goods arrive from EU member states under an A.TR movement certificate, this last without prejudice to Article 47 of Decision 1/95 of the Association Council on trade policy measures. Sentences added to that fourth paragraph in 2020 create an express exception to the third of those cases: where the goods are simultaneously subject to more than one trade policy measure, additional customs duty or other financial obligation, or where different rates have been set by country under the same instrument, a certificate of origin is required, and if it is not presented the highest of the amounts that would have to be collected is taken as the basis. So a certificate of origin is not required on every import; the obligation is conditional, and the conditions are in the article. Article 205 has been amended several times, most recently by the amendment published in the Official Gazette of 3 May 2023 (No. 32179), so confirm the current text at mevzuat.gov.tr for the position on a specific declaration.

Extension measures: why a third country can still be covered

Where a measure is being neutralised by diverting the tariff classification, the origin or the exporting firm, a circumvention investigation (önlemlerin etkisiz kılınması soruşturması) may be opened. Where the findings support it, the existing measure can be extended to the origin or tariff code used for the diversion; where the diversion runs through a specific firm, that firm's individual rate can be raised. This is a formal instrument in Turkish practice and it produces a distinct category of record, flagged separately in this directory.

A significant part of the records here are extension measures of this kind rather than the outcome of an independent investigation into that country's own producers, and the distinction matters when you read a country page. Seeing an origin listed against a product does not necessarily mean that an investigation found dumping by producers in that country — it may mean that a measure originally imposed on a different origin was extended to cover shipments routed through it. Put the other way round, a country that has never been investigated in its own right is not therefore a country without measures. The dataset does not record which parent measure each extension attaches to, so this directory does not name the original origin; it states only that the record is an extension.

There is a second consequence that catches sourcing teams. An extension measure is imposed by reference to an existing measure rather than as a standalone finding, and its life is shaped by that parent measure — which is the most likely reason 136 extension records carry a declared end date that has already passed while remaining on the in-force list as at 07.08.2026, many of them sitting alongside a parent measure on the same product that is still current. Because the dataset does not record the legal relationship between the two, the directory labels these records for what they are instead of calling them either expired or in force.

One further caution, because the question arises in exactly this context: routing a shipment through a third country or declaring a different tariff code in order to escape a measure is what the circumvention rules exist to catch. Where such acts are carried out by persons established in Türkiye, the matter may be referred to the competent authorities for proceedings under Anti-Smuggling Law No. 5607. Nothing on this page should be read as a route around a measure.

What the measure actually costs you at the border

The importer pays. Under Article 8 of Law No. 3577, the taxpayer for an anti-dumping or countervailing duty is the real or legal person importing the goods — the party established in Türkiye, not the foreign producer or exporter. If your supplier tells you the duty is their problem, it is not: it is a line on your declaration and a cost in your landed price unless you have separately negotiated it commercially.

The duty is collected by the customs administration separately from other duties charged on import, or secured by guarantee. It is not a species of customs duty, it is not folded into the customs duty rate, and it will not appear as part of it. The procedural provisions of customs legislation on registration, assessment, collection, repayment, pursuit and security apply to it, and amounts left unpaid are pursued by customs administrations under Law No. 6183 on the Procedure for the Collection of Public Receivables.

The cost does not stop at the duty itself. Under Article 21 of VAT Law No. 3065, the VAT base on import comprises the value on which customs duty is assessed, all taxes, duties, charges and shares paid at import, and other untaxed expenses and payments incurred up to the registration date of the customs declaration. An anti-dumping duty is a tax paid at import, so it enters the VAT base and increases the VAT payable at import; the same reasoning applies to a safeguard additional financial obligation (ek mali yükümlülük). How that VAT is then treated in your own tax position is a question for your tax adviser, not something this directory can answer.

Provisional measures taken during an investigation work differently from definitive ones: they are taken as a security rather than collected outright, and no provisional measure may be imposed within sixty days of the initiation of a dumping or subsidy investigation. On the definitive measure, if the amount exceeds the security already taken the difference is not collected, and if it is lower the difference is repaid; if the investigation is terminated, provisional measures are lifted and securities returned. Safeguards again differ: where a definitive safeguard is decided, the amount secured under the provisional measure is recorded as Treasury revenue, and if the definitive measure is lower than the provisional one the difference is returned. Retroactive application of an anti-dumping or countervailing duty is possible on principles set by Presidential Decision, but it cannot reach back more than ninety days from the date the provisional measures were taken. Two boundary rules close the picture: the imposition of a duty does not prevent importation of the goods, and an anti-dumping duty and a countervailing duty cannot both be applied to remedy the same situation.

How to check whether your shipment is actually covered

The Ministry's own guidance sets out the order of work: first establish the tariff classification (GTİP) of the goods you intend to import, then check that code against the published in-force measures lists. That is what this directory is built around — except that here you can also start from the product name or from the origin country, which is how buyers actually think about a sourcing decision.

Then comes the step most lists omit. A measure frequently applies to only part of the goods classified under a tariff code, because in practice the product description in the communiqué governs, not the code. A match on the code is therefore an indication, not a conclusion. Where the goods fall under a covered code but sit outside the product description of the measure, Turkish customs practice provides an anti-dumping exemption code (DKVMF) in the declaration item screen, and no anti-dumping duty is then calculated in the system. In case of genuine doubt, the Ministry of Trade's Directorate General of Customs can be asked. There is a mirror-image error in the other direction: not every record is stated at the full twelve-digit level. Codes recorded at heading or sub-heading level cover all of their sub-divisions, so the twelve-digit code on your declaration may sit inside a shorter code shown here; those records are marked as covering the whole position, because otherwise a reader searching their own code would conclude there is nothing there.

One structural trap deserves a specific warning, because it is the most expensive false negative on a site like this. Not every measure is attached to a single named country. As at 07.08.2026, 124 records attach to a country grouping — the European Union, "All Countries", or the EU excluding Spain — so checking one country page in isolation can leave you convinced there is no measure when a group measure reaches your consignment. Group records apply in addition to single-country records, and some group scopes are negative: a record for the EU excluding Spain leaves the named country outside its scope, and such a record is not automatically mapped onto the excluded member state. Safeguards illustrate the same problem from the other side, since most of them are recorded against "All Countries" and so surface under no named origin, while a small number are origin-specific and apply to Iran-origin goods.

Finally, measures can stack. As at 07.08.2026, 21 tariff codes in this directory carry more than one product heading, and several records under one code can apply to the same import. A safeguard sitting on the same code as an anti-dumping duty does occur, but it is the exception rather than the pattern; most multi-heading codes split between different anti-dumping headings for the same family of goods. The one hard limit is that an anti-dumping duty and a countervailing duty cannot both be applied to remedy the same situation. Because of that, and because the product description can equally take your goods outside a record that looks like a match, the right habit is to review every record under your code rather than stopping at the first one you see — and to have your customs broker look at it before the declaration, not after.

Source and disclaimer

The records on this page are compiled from the measures-in-force list published by the Turkish Ministry of Trade; last synchronised on 2026-08-07. The binding texts are the notifications and decrees published in the Official Gazette.

Source and scope of responsibility: the records in this directory are compiled from the "measures in force" lists published by the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Türkiye (T.C. Ticaret Bakanlığı) — a dated anti-dumping and countervailing measures file together with a separate safeguard measures file that carries no date in its name — and were last synchronised on 07.08.2026; communiqués and decisions published after that date do not yet appear here. This is a reference copy prepared for information only. Logistivo is not an official source, not an official enquiry system and not an approved or endorsed register, and nothing here is legal, tax or customs brokerage advice or a binding tariff ruling. The only binding texts are the communiqués on the prevention of unfair competition in imports and the Presidential Decisions on safeguard measures published in the Official Gazette (Resmî Gazete), together with the Ministry of Trade's own published lists; every record here carries its Official Gazette date and number so that you can verify it at source. Four limits are worth restating. First, scope: this directory covers only anti-dumping duties, countervailing duties and safeguard measures — surveillance (including valuation surveillance), additional customs duty, quantitative restrictions, tariff-rate quotas and other trade policy measures are outside it, and the absence of a record here is not evidence that no other measure or financial obligation applies to your import. Second, measures change as new communiqués and decisions are published, so figures and records are accurate only as at the synchronisation date shown. Third, a match on a tariff code is not by itself proof that a measure applies, because the product description in the communiqué governs — and equally, a declared end date that has passed is not proof that a duty has stopped. Fourth, rates shown as a range depend on the exporting firm, and the firm-level rate lists are not part of this dataset. This page does not decide, for any specific consignment, that a measure applies or does not apply, or how much you will pay. Before preparing a customs declaration or committing to a purchase order, confirm the current position from the Official Gazette and with your customs broker; where the scope is genuinely doubtful, the Ministry of Trade's Directorate General of Imports and Directorate General of Customs can be asked.

Frequently asked questions

What is an anti-dumping duty in Türkiye?

An anti-dumping duty (dampinge karşı vergi) is a trade defence instrument applied where goods are exported to Türkiye below their normal value — the comparable price for the like product in the exporter's own market — and that pricing injures the domestic industry. It is imposed under Law No. 3577 on the Prevention of Unfair Competition in Imports, with its international basis in Article VI of GATT 1994 and the WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement. The duty is set at the dumping margin, or at a lower level where a lower rate is enough to remove the injury (the lesser duty rule). It is charged either ad valorem on the CIF value or as a specific amount per unit of quantity, and it applies according to the origin of the goods.

Who pays the anti-dumping duty — the exporter or the importer?

The importer pays. Under Article 8 of Law No. 3577 the taxpayer is the real or legal person importing the goods into Türkiye, not the foreign producer or exporter. The duty is collected by the customs administration separately from other import duties, or secured by guarantee, so it appears as its own line at clearance rather than being folded into the customs duty rate. Unpaid amounts are pursued by customs administrations under Law No. 6183.

Can I still import goods that are subject to an anti-dumping duty?

Yes. Article 13 of Law No. 3577 states expressly that the imposition of an anti-dumping or countervailing duty does not prevent importation of the goods concerned. It is an additional financial obligation, not an import ban — the commercial question is whether the landed cost still works, not whether the shipment is permitted.

How long does an anti-dumping measure stay in force in Türkiye?

Definitive measures run for five years as a rule and lapse five years after entry into force, with measures due to lapse announced by a communiqué in the Official Gazette during the final year. Expiry is not automatic in either direction: domestic producers may apply for an expiry review (nihai gözden geçirme soruşturması) at the latest three months before expiry, and if such a review is opened the measure remains in force until it concludes. If no application is made and no review is opened, the measure lapses. The review is limited to one year and may be extended by six months, and it can end with the measure continuing unchanged, lapsing, or continuing in amended form. Safeguards work differently — extension there is made by decision of the Board for the Evaluation of Safeguard Measures in Imports and a Presidential Decision, not through an expiry review.

The end date shown for a measure has already passed. Does that mean the duty no longer applies?

No — you cannot draw that conclusion from the date alone. As at 07.08.2026, 208 of the 1.459 records in this directory carry a declared end date that has already passed while still appearing on the Ministry's in-force list. Those records are not a single situation: 136 are extension measures, whose life is shaped by the parent measure they attach to rather than by their own date, and 72 are main measures. An open expiry review is one reason a measure can outlive its declared end date, but this dataset does not record whether a review has been opened for any given record. Verify the current status from the Official Gazette or the Ministry of Trade before preparing a declaration on the assumption that duty has stopped.

Why is the duty shown as a range instead of one rate?

Because the rate can differ by exporting firm. As at 07.08.2026, 860 records in this directory carry a numeric range in their published rate text, and 855 of them are anti-dumping or countervailing records — nearly the whole of the range set. On those records, exporters that cooperated fully in the investigation can be given individual rates while a single residual rate applies to all other exporters from that origin, so one measure carries several rates at once. The rate that applies to your consignment is the one set against your supplier in the firm list of the relevant communiqué, and that firm-level list is not part of this dataset. Safeguard records work differently: a safeguard carries no exporter-specific rates, so a range there must not be read as a firm-level range — read the product description and rate schedule in the decision itself.

Does an A.TR certificate mean no anti-dumping duty applies to an EU shipment?

No. An A.TR movement certificate demonstrates that goods are in free circulation; it does not demonstrate origin, and trade policy measures are applied according to origin. Third-country goods that entered free circulation in the EU and then move to Türkiye remain subject to any measure attaching to their actual origin. Under Article 205(4) of the Customs Regulation a certificate of origin is not sought for goods arriving from EU member states under an A.TR, without prejudice to Article 47 of Decision 1/95 of the Association Council on trade policy measures — but the same paragraph makes an express exception where the goods are subject to more than one measure, additional customs duty or other financial obligation at once, or where different rates have been set by country under the same instrument; there a certificate of origin is required, and if it is not presented the highest of the amounts that would be collected is taken as the basis. Article 205 has been amended several times, most recently in 2023, so confirm the current text before relying on it for a specific declaration.

If I ship through a third country, does the duty still apply?

Almost certainly, because what matters is the origin of the goods, not the country of dispatch — these are declared as two separate fields on the customs declaration. Beyond that, diverting the origin, the tariff classification or the exporting firm in order to escape a measure can trigger a circumvention investigation, after which the existing measure may be extended to the origin or code used for the diversion. Where such acts are carried out by persons established in Türkiye, the matter may be referred to the competent authorities for proceedings under Anti-Smuggling Law No. 5607. A substantial number of the records in this directory are already extension measures of exactly this kind, so an origin that looks clear may well be covered.

Is the anti-dumping duty included in the import VAT base?

Yes. Article 21 of VAT Law No. 3065 defines the import VAT base as the value on which customs duty is assessed, plus all taxes, duties, charges and shares paid at import, plus other untaxed expenses and payments up to registration of the declaration. An anti-dumping duty is a tax paid at import, so it enters that base and increases the VAT payable at import. The same reasoning applies to a safeguard additional financial obligation (ek mali yükümlülük).

What is the difference between an anti-dumping duty and a safeguard measure?

An anti-dumping duty responds to unfair pricing by exporters from specific origins and is applied by origin, under Law No. 3577, on a decision of the Board for the Evaluation of Unfair Competition in Imports, announced by communiqué. A safeguard measure (korunma önlemi) responds to a surge in imports causing serious injury or the threat of it, with no requirement that the imports be unfairly traded; it rests on the Decision on Safeguard Measures in Imports (2004/7305), is decided by a different board and is published as a Presidential Decision, and as a rule it applies to imports from all countries rather than to named origins — though a small number of safeguards are written for a specific origin. A safeguard can take the form of an increase in customs duty, an additional financial obligation, a quantity or value restriction, a tariff-rate quota or a combination. Because the two rest on different legislation, a product can face both at once.

My tariff code is on the list but my product looks different — do I still pay?

Not necessarily, because a measure often applies to only part of the goods classified under a code, and in practice the product description in the communiqué governs. Where the goods fall under a covered code but outside that description, Turkish customs practice provides an anti-dumping exemption code (DKVMF) in the declaration item screen so that no anti-dumping duty is calculated in the system. That assessment rests on the text of the communiqué, so read the product description carefully and, where genuine doubt remains, seek confirmation from the Ministry of Trade's Directorate General of Customs through your customs broker.

I cannot find my tariff code or origin in this directory — does that mean no measure applies to my import?

No, and this page does not make that finding. It means only that, on the instruments covered here and on the list synchronised on 07.08.2026, there is no record for that code, product or origin. Three reasons that is not the same as being clear. First, scope: this directory covers only anti-dumping duties, countervailing duties and safeguard measures, so surveillance (including valuation surveillance), additional customs duty, quantitative restrictions and tariff-rate quotas would not appear here at all, and the absence of a record is not evidence that no other measure or financial obligation applies. Second, group-scope records such as "All Countries" or "European Union" apply on top of single-country records, and as at 07.08.2026 124 records in this directory attach to a country grouping rather than to a named country. Third, an existing measure can later be extended to a third country through a circumvention investigation. Read the result as "no record for this origin on this dated list", and confirm with your customs broker before committing to a sourcing decision.
